Raleigh Dyna Tech appreciation and information thread

[TOMAS]

Fab, thanks Carl.

You thinking of doing a replica paint job? If so, I've also thought about this for a few weeks, only issue is the orange decal/logo that separates the two and how to go about recreating this? Has anyone else ever done a replica team paintjob?

Re:

Yeah that was the hope. Not really thought it through properly :facepalm:

A very nice man about 60 pages back may have photos of the orange splodge decals and will be sending them in a couple of weeks hopefully so I’d be happy to share them.

Failing that I might get an art student to paint them

What would also be cool is replicating the Diablo main tube patterns.

Humm, be interesting if we get several of these on the go at once? I'll have a word with a guy from Raleigh I know, he may have some better pics, the orange 'Splodge' is infact a Raleigh logo I believe. I also have an old M-Trax in need of repaint that I did think about cutting out the lugs and having some carbon tubes bonded in, or doing something similar to a classic dyna with the chunky lugs to try and do a Tomac replica but again, would be a lot of hard work!

I've got a whopping collection now, with several Diablos, an Ogre and even a Torus XT, a race replica bike would really be the pinnacle of my collection before I move onto collecting something else lol...

Gents, thought I would have one more go to try and get a bit of help. Have a 700. Beautiful, one of the best road bikes I have ridden, my go to bike for my commute in summer. 600 Triclour throughout.
However, have a bit of a problem. As you know, the seat stays are 'bolted' to the seat tube lug by an Allen headed screw. There is a bit of play there. It's not the lug, it's just around the Allen screw. The screw is 'rounded out' can't move it. So, I have 2 questions. Is a bit of play the ok (probably about 1mm, if that) and could I, should I drill out and replace?
Thanks in anticipation.

I'd suggest drilling out and replacing. That movement will eventually wear something out, or snap.

I'm assuming the Allen Screw is metric? If you have any imperial Allen keys sometimes if you're lucky you can find one just a tad bigger & may tap-in enough to turn the screw, I've done it many a time sometimes it works & sometimes it doesn't, might be worth a try before drilling!
