Cararra Special and CarerraSport seem to be the same model.

As such, it's a heavy bike, but with Windsor-labeled alloy rims and very upright geometry, 74x74-degrees or thereabouts.

I found a black one being thrown out behind the bike shop, and rode it for a year or so before selling it. I would have kept it, but the seat tube bands were flaking off and at the time I favored a more relaxed geometry. I did somewhat regret selling it as it made for a lively ride up into the foothills.
