    Best just scrap them in my opinion , no one will notice or really care I would have thought if a 2017 Carrera has a different brand of oil brakes I do not think the bikes are collectible or particularly sort after. I bet your misses really wants you to find a work space you have nearly set...

    CARRERA VULCAN E 2017 BOTTOM BRACKET
