I honestly don't know or want to know  A fair chunk of that upgrading was done after being knocked off on the road an getting compensation.
From now on my money is being spent on the Spicy or just keeping both bikes working.

I have followed your many posts about you fury... Right from when you got it. I love what you have done. Its mad.
A mate of mine bought a new fury back in April after my recommendations. He wants to change his to a 2x9 or 2x10 setup with bash guard and add a bit of colour.
I will have to show him these latest pics.
Would you ever be able to sell the beast.

Probably, just in parts Because of the stigma that Carrera has I wouldn't get anywhere near what's worth if I sold it as a full bike. I would get far more for it by splitting it.
But if I do anything I'll probably get a 4X frame, shorten the forks to 100mm and then use it as an XC/dirt jumping bike, setup 1x9/10

Swap the frame for an On-One, or similar, and it would sell within the hour...
They are great bikes thoughs. They get used for 'donors', but there's really nothing wrong with the frames. They're just not cool.

Best looking Fury I've seen. Upgrades cost more than the original bike i'm guessing?

Wow, goes to show what could be done if you do it right!
Is it just me or is the only difference between xc and playtime a higher seat post? I've spent a while looking. Its like a spot the difference lol

I'm going to be racing the Fury at least one more time before it gets split and sold. I've entered Round 2 of the Red Kite Winter XC Series this Sunday in that Wales place. I'll be wearing baggy clothes, maybe knee pads (they keep your knees warm too) and a trail lid. I don't think I'll fit in but it should be good practise for the Mega because it will get me used to getting past people on the descents and good fitness training too.
