Re: Re:

There's a trashed Diablo frame and forks on ebay right now:

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/274339040847?ul_noapp=true

Spotted that - it's a bit of an oddity as it has the curved spinner fork & mudguard / rack eyes on the rear dropouts like the lower spec frames :?

I know the local tips are closed at the moment but fly tipping is against the law you know.

I’ll post again when it’s finished xxx

Re:

Here's my latest addition - 1991 Dyna-tech Voyager

Weather permitting it'll get stripped & washed tomorrow.

A bit tatty in places but at least the seatpost isn't stuck!

Campag Bullet shifters & rear mech have long gone & replaced with Shimano XT 8 speed.

Chainset arms need rubbing back & re-spraying black but chainrings are still pretty good.

Campag hubs are still silky smooth

Now just need a Dyna-tech Endeavour for the full set of 1991

Re:

Loving the last few posts especially the MT4 and Voyager.
My Mission is now complete not catalogue correct but what I had spare,
stx-rc brakes shifter's hubs, LX mechs and chainset, Mavic 238 rims Kona seatpost with repainted alloy bar and Onza bar ends.
Feels a lot livelier with the lighter weight Gato tyres compared to my Voyager.
Just need to start thinking on spec for my MT4

Re:

Very nice collection there davo77

Having seen your Diablo is the same design as the butchered frame on eBay (rack eyes & curved forks) & checked the 1992 catalogue I've realised mine is the odd one out :roll:

Mine looks the same as an Ogre / MT4 so checked the chainstays & they're not magnetic

Re:

I notice that your MT4 has the cable routing along the top tube but mine and Ultrazenith's has the gear cabling under the bb. Presumably that's a later model, are there any other differences you know of?

Mission looks great btw

Maybe it was a warranty job and original owner had frame replaced mt4 but in Diablo colours :?

My fame has a D in frame number which I think means it's a 1993

No it's an early pre-production model used for marketing with SHOW stamped on the BB shell along with the custom built SB serial number (see page 143)

Which would make it ultra rare!!
