M-Trax Ti3000 build

[raleighmontage]

Finally decided to try and put some pictures on here.
Here's my 1994 M-Trax Ti3000.
Here's what it looked like when I got it:



Was fitted with horrible Club Roost bars, the M-trax three-mile long stem, and tonnes of very old grease

Re:

Look forward to seeing the completed project. I'm after a ti 3000 or 4000 frame or whole bike for a project this year. Hopefully can find one soon.

It's done! Riding nicely too... didnt stay clean for long, had to give it a blast round the coast path on the way home.
Waiting on few bits (purple heatshrink/cable ends) then will sort some pics out....hopefully will get it out for a long-ish ride this weekend if the wind dies down.

arnoldlayne- I listened to the first Floyd album whilst working on this.. also, ti3000 and 4000 frames are the same, only difference is LX/XT groupset

Re: ti 3000

Same frame as I'm delivering to ultrazenith next week but with UGLI forks. Nice, maybe I should have kept it (here we go again).

Trust me, it has left the stand. It gets ridden, and not lightly.
Awesome bike, I love the thing.

Re:

Looks awesome. Just got to service my pace forks then I'll be up on the hills. Really need to find a ti 3/4000.

You won't regret it. Really under-rated bike, this thing feels really stiff & poised.
