Caroline Alexander's team bike

[Once A Hero]

My guess is that the sticker says Inspected. I think I've seen similar stickers on other bikes.

I haven't seen a Dynatech frame that curves upwards before though. What's the point of that?

Upwards curve is a new one on me too.

ha! that's hilarious!

in some ways i hope it's a con artist, because imagine how disappointed someone would be if they actually thought it was Caro's actual race bike they had!

Well Caroline definitely used Campag headsets at times…
It certainly looks like a Dynatech but I’ve never seen a production model with a top tube like that! - It’s such a distinctive feature and should be easy to spot in any old photos. Can’t recall ever seeing her on a frame like that though

..Those forks don’t look like standard Dyna-drives or whatever they’re called - they’re much thinner aren’t they..

Just for reference...

[jonnyboy666]

So correct me if i'm wrong, dynacurves were monostay chainstays and chunky lugs?

and I'm right in saying that the later year dynatechs that had this rear triangle didnt have a canti stop that looks like it was off a std steel raleigh, top tube cable stops are add ons as theyre the wrong colour and look like they were ordered from ceeway - and yes the 'curve' is upside down for a strange reason.

could this be a special division one off as the seller claims?

and £1500? .............. Really!

I call BS. Too much of this malarkey going on
