Dyna Tech 700 out of retirement

[kev1n]

Hello everyone;
decided to get back on the biike after a long absence......
bought some tyres, tubes, and pedals; and plan to do light training, and just enjoy the bike
i have noticed how rare it is now to see a steel frame on the roads......

hope you all like the pics

great website

Looking good, I'm a big Raleigh fan.
Were the Dura Ace bits upgrades?
Aesthetically, I think that version of Dura Ace is my all time favourite groupset.

Hello
I upgraded just about everything on this frameset.
It was all Shimano

Ultegra 6500 - Headset
Crankset
Front and Rear mechs
Sti Levers
Pedals (now xtr 9000)
Bottom Braket

Dura Ace 7700 - Hubs 32/28
Seatpin
Cassette
Brakes

Chain is a PC89R SACHS; (cant seem to find this now.....i do like the design and performance of it)

dont want to go further than 9 speeds on this bike with future upgrades......but it seems this grade of 9 speed is getting scarce......

i also like this version the best
not a fan of the later single piece cranksets....

Hey bro; thanks for the comment...

The frame is in original condition; I will try to keep it that way as long as possible. Of course it is an old bike so its got a few battle scars...

I have all the original bits for the bike still; including the original wheels......

BTW im wondering how to properly identify this frameset; i hear people talk of the monostay version being a 1990 model.........Any info appreciated

Maybe mines is a 1990?
I have the original reciept; the bike was bought from DAYS CYCLES in 1991

mine is stamped DO34901 So the first letter must be year code ????
