Raleigh Dune Dancer... year and brochure?

[Neil]

I managed to snag a Dune Dancer frameset off here a while back, it's still on the back burner to being built, but spring is coming...

I've got this distinct memory of reading a review in MBUK (think it was part of a group test), and I always liked the colour and the name of the bike, more than anything else - but I think it sort of spawned this odd craving for one - I'd never bothered BITD, after all, there's nothing particularly noteworthy about them, unless something has imprinted on you.

All the same, other than understanding they must have been early 90s, I don't know much more than that, really - and I've not seen them in any brochures on here.

Anyone know the year, and know / got an pics or scans of their brochure? Or for that matter, the MBUK review?

Think that range was available in both the 1992 and 93 model year. Didn't some come with Rockshox and others with Flex Stems?

I want to think they probably had Zoom stems as stock. Reynolds 501 frames - I know some of the similar models around that time (Peak?) used Reynolds K2 tubing, but wasn't sure of the whole timeline / cut-off thing, really.

I had one of these a couple of years ago. Cost me £30. Was all original with LX groupset. Nice bike.
