    Simply spectacular. The doctor has forbidden me to see these photos, they are not good for my heart

    1992 Raleigh Dyna-Tech MT4

    It's certainly a coincidence But even though we are brothers, it seems to me that it is more difficult to get a World Class, so I guess that makes it somewhat more exclusive PS. By the way, I have to write the full name of the brand, the abbreviation doesn't look very good (W.C.)😄

    By the way, nice story It is always good to know the history of the bicycle, it is more entertaining😁

    1992 Raleigh Dyna-Tech MT4

    I think it was something like this: The company that manufactured for GT also manufactured for World Class They were identical, they were Hadley But it is true there is little information I could only get the tandem version, there are few units on the market and I didn't want to be left without him

    I have a World Class rear hub, it is not a brand that is seen much. Interesting and somewhat exotic

    Then the carbon arrived...the first one broke but they gave me an advance one for the following season: A Team FO Without a doubt the best bike I have ever owned. At just 8kg in weight, very fast, agile, extremely noble and very very comfortable, to do many km

    The ATX Team that replaced the ATX 800. a few grams heavier but much more consistent to have a disc brake. My first brake discs, the Hayes Mag plus with carbon levers. Superb machine to compete My little son currently uses it almost every day to train. The bicycle is a true warrior

    For the assembly I decided on a good range but nothing exclusive, it was about making a light/reliable/easy to carry and beautiful bike. I thought about an XT but it seemed to me that for someone who doesn't ride the Grip Shift is easier. The 7.0, an equivalent to Xt... was the one chosen...

    Of my Giants this is the most special of all. I had been married for 1 year and my wife one night commented that she had never had her own bicycle. Giant Iberica owed me a small favor, so I asked for a bycicle that was not sold in Spain but was in the international catalog. Actually it was the...

    An explosion of color. Giant ATX 800 from '99

    Well, the head set had some reducers The external measurement is 43.4 mm. Since it does not come under pressure because it has some clearance, I imagine that the internal measurement of the head tube will be 44 mm. The idea of putting a tapered fork is interesting I'm always thinking about...

    And well, my dear and faithful ATX 800 recovered. The bike that showed me that not only the legs matter, a good well-designed frame helps a lot

    An explosion of color. Giant ATX 800 from '99

    I was recently able to purchase some Xtralite levers, a Connex 911 chain and an XTR 952 cassette to replace the XT, so this weekend I was able to finish it. The wheels are a separate topic: They gave them to me to run, some Selle Italia MHT 21 On the road they were seen a lot more, especially...

    An explosion of color. Giant ATX 800 from '99

    It had some scratches from several races run with fury and glory, so I looked for something to retouch it with Pantone. The original stem was a red Kore (which I still have), but I changed it for a Newton shortly after to adapt more to my natural position on the bike. I liked the development of...

    An explosion of color. Giant ATX 800 from '99

    But one day I decided to return the pride that I took from him. He didn't deserve that disaster. Fortunately the rear derailleur and front deraileur XTR 952 were always in place. I recovered the "V" XTR and found the entire Easton CT2 in a drawer (what magnificent pieces) The Flite Pantani...

    An explosion of color. Giant ATX 800 from '99

    After a year or a little more, the ATX team arrived, but I didn't want to get rid of this ATX 800 and I saved the frame. Later I made it to ride with smooth wheels respecting the MTB geometry, I put an 11-23 + a 48/36, Time road pedals and little by little I removed parts and its previous...

    An explosion of color. Giant ATX 800 from '99

    But it is not all this data that started my love affair with this frame. I was the classic road racer. MTB was something I practiced occasionally for fun and the truth is, I was very bad at it. He had a group of friends with whom he met occasionally to go on a route and in winter he went to a...

    An explosion of color. Giant ATX 800 from '99

    The frame incorporates a very oversized head tube (with reducers to be able to fit a 1 1/8 head set), disc support (its implementation was already imminent) and a mushroom tube that is also oversized and with a reducer for the classic 27,2 and the brand's monostay feature The frame, as I said...
