this is a bit late, but i have several, mtrax 300 2 main tube ti, , mtrax 500 2120 all purple, mtrax 500 2120 twin tone 3 main tube ti, dynatech ogre xce 2125 all ti except lugs, and the sister dynatech tt lo-pro 2070 in reynolds 653, if it has a 21 in the sticker its ti, if its has a 20,
that frame is of the improved style, the earlier frames had a excellent fit, but not enough space for bonding material. this was revised for 92 onwards, from 93 raleigh started to use the m-trax name and fade out dynatech. i think it was a bad move, same as selling off there manufacturing capability. dynatech could have continued as special products with mtrax as high end mass prioduction... however, the bad managment had caused so much damage to the brand, selling off assets and bad decisions, caused a spiral in to doom, the hell boy, would have been proud of.
current owners of raleigh, if they have any common sense, should use the sub brands, to produce more bikes. like approach triumph for a partnership, bsa, hercules etc. Ti India has done just that and all raleigh brands are strong and poweful there, but cant be sold in europe, as raligh still holds the brands,
