Name that Barrow

[Carpbell3]

Just back from my FB Market Place bargain hunt, got a very nice chair for waggler fishingand general day ticket stuff.

Also grabbed a Carp Porter same again never used paid 90 f9r the barrow but need a bit of help figuring out which model carp porter it is, not a mk2 as it doesn't take the drop in bag on a frame, don't mind that, the side bars are smaller than the mk2 at 50cm the mk2 is 68cm so the side bags for the MK2 won't fir tight, they do a evo range that look smaller for side bags but no size stated, just which model porter they fit, advice would be welcome.

 

Also the front bar bag my front bar is 49cm wide call it 50cm would anyone know the size of the mk2 front bar or the bag that fits seems to be same across the whole range.

Few pics someone must know the model?

I had to get a few parts that were nicked from my garage, after trolling the web, I just went direct to Carp porter.

They're very helpful.

Part of the Korda family from what I can gather.

Seems to be one of the original fat boy barrows, they all come with a drop in frame bag since the mk2 came out looks like it's the smaller side bags that will fit this one, I didn't know they did two different size side bars and bags to fit they also only do the zip ones in this size since korda took over

Nice find don't think it has ever been used fella wanted rid I think, the chair came from a lady who looked like she was clearing out a relatives house ready for sale, same again never used not a mark on it.

Happy it's not a mk2 otherwise I would of been tempted to get the drop in bag just to fill the gap I have only ever put spare clothes in the drop in bags as it ends up buried at the bottom of all the other gear on the barrow.

I'm very particular about who and where I buy used from, I use FB market place, Gumtree and Ebay I will also collect from seller and check their FB profile expecting to see some fishing related content, if they are not willing to sell from home, might be a bit iffy.

IMO that IS a MK2 Wideboy, I've got one.

I found out there are 2 versions with the later version accepting the drop in bag 👍

They came with velcro on - under barrow bags - which I've still got in the garage, still got the barrow as a spare

Sorry mate but quoting you to point out you got this wrong - see my post above and yes you need the smaller side bags and you might find one of the old under bags second hand maybe 👍

I think the Mk2 thing started with thinker bars on the barrow itself, there's a MK2 Wideboy Version 1 and 2 from a particular date.

With my recent barrow troubles I had to find this out 👍

I've got some mint front panier bags unused if you want to buy 👍🤣

Sorry it's Fatboy isn't it not wideboy so it's a (Mk2 Fatboy Version 1) - final answer!

What do I win? 😎

Got the front bag and barrow tidy on the way plus sides, so long as I get my tea kit at the front, the side bags take all the pod and bank stick gear alarms scales and baiting up equipment that sort of thing, be a fat boy evo once I get the rear wheels on it

If you ever decide to buy the front bars with bucket holder or just the front bars with shelf to take the weight of a heavy front bag - you're looking for the bigger sized bars as it's the Mk2 👍

Also got wider wheel forks if you need a replacement wheel
