boy"O"boy's 1991 Raleigh Dynatech Endeavour x2!!

[ibbz]

Wow Ben! And then there were three!!
Is that the picture of the German eBay one?
it looks in very nice condition.
The price looks high but in my opinion is entirely appropriate as it’s so very rare and special as well as original and beautiful.
I guess you’re not going to be buying it? Haha
Looking forward to your one.

But so far only ONE Dynatech Decade in existence!

No. Didn't go for this one....apart from the high price, don't think I'd need a 3rd one! Unless I decide to buy up every known example!

....and a link from brocklanders023 has bought a 4th one to light. This one was on FB marketplace and at £500 - expensive again seeing as it is missing all of it's Campagnolo and is a mis-match of parts.

But so far only ONE Dynatech Decade in existence!

....but yes. Still one Dynatech Decade known!

So, the restoration has started on my own Dynatech Endeavour #2

Before any paint was stripped, the frame was taken to in paint store in Leamington for colour matching and aerosols to be mixed up.

Then the Langlow strip away pro was broken out and didn't take long to take effect!

The next couple of days have been spent cleaning back the frame to bare metal in readiness for the etch prime.

This is where I'm at for now...

Thaks for this info - it's strange how that for years and years there was only one - and suddenly three more turn up! So out of the four known in existance you have two!

50% is a good start! ....interesting that the other 2 that have turned up are at either end of the spectrum in terms of condition.
If another turns up....there's your handful!
....but they are like buses, waited 10 years for the 1st one then 3 turn up in quick succession.
