I have one for sale. Can't get pics on as 'they are too big'. 18" Raleigh Dynatech Ogre in excellent and original condition. I will keep trying with the photos (never had problems posting pics on other sites)

Thanks man - some Paul's original QR skewers in the post to me. And Gil will hopefully sort some new decals and it'll be done .

I always wanted an MT5 but that's more about the frame material rarity rather than looks as the colour scheme on this is my favourite out of the dynatechs.

Would like to see more Dynatech Decade or Similar with the Trimmels - now those looks sweet

Can anyone help with the bottom bracket size I need for my Dyna Tech?

Frame has been stripped so nothing to work with sorry! What I do know...

Model was a 1990 Sentinal, but Frame replaced around 1994/5. Therefore possibly an M trax?

Guessing its stock 68mm one, but what length please?

It'll depend what chainset you are fitting. Sheldon's website has the info you need:
