A great buy that, and looks in excellent condition.
Looking forward to seeing it more on the group page too!

Raleigh Dyna-Tech Voyager
I’ve spent last night and this morning in a state of excitement and anticipation of going to collect this bike. I fully expected to get the “buyer cancelled the sale” type email from eBay as it was a great price for a great bike. It’s happened to me a few times before, this being probably the...

There's an Endeavour (for silly money) and a decent looking Sentinal for £100 up on Facebook.

You'll have to join the group to see the Sentinal.

I’ve been away from this thread for a while and living in New Zealand means I don’t get to see many (if any!) Dyna Techs in the flesh.
Loving the recent information about the Decade.. a bike I remember being released and lusted after.
I (kind of!) have a one of a kind Dyna Tech. Here is my 1991 Sentinel that debonded (circa 1994?) and the replacement warranty frame from Raleigh was a later model (Dyna Tech MT? Or M-Trax?) painted as the Sentinel! I got a letter from Raleigh explaining that I had the Titanium upgrade frame for my troubles. You can see from the cable routing it’s a later model and the magnet test confirms that the top and down tubes are Ti.
I bought this with my paper round money (and money from birthday/Xmas) in 1991 and although I sold it to a friend in 2001 when I left to go to NZ my brother bought it back from him in 2003. My brother then gave it back to me (legend!) and I had it shipped to NZ around 2014.
For the build here I had to sacrifice a nos 1989/90 Diamondback Apex… but the end result was worth it (don’t worry… the Diamondback frame got rehomed!). It’s running Deore II, XTR front mech, Farmer John Nephews, Titanium One piece flexstem, thomson seat post and charge saddle (ok… need to change these but coming by parts in NZ is tough!).
I have a set of NOS Deore XT brake levers (to go alongside the XT Thumbies) which I just need to fit.

That “Sentinel” looks great. I think I may have a similar bike in the “Odyssey” I recently purchased though I don’t have any provenance for this. Suspect mine is based on a ‘94 Diablo frame.
*maybe not a Raleigh Dynatech Odyssey
I was asked by a friend of a friend recently to source a couple of decent “old mountain bikes” for him. Mission accomplished reasonably quickly with an M-Trax already in the cave and a Bear Valley from eBay. An unfortunate side effect was reawakening some of my old eBay searches with the...

Thanks dude… just replied on your thread too as I agree, pretty sure this is a 1994 Diablo. Would love some U.G.L.I forks… but not sure they go with current set up.That “Sentinel” looks great.

btw… that Odyssey is a beauty! At least you can be semi confident it shouldn’t debond
I hope you’re happy with it. I can’t wait to see it built up. I don’t own any Raleigh frames / bikes now.
