Raleigh Dyna Tech appreciation and information thread

[ibbz]

Yeah most definitely agree I have just picked up that mt4 that was for sale on here you hardly ever see any mt5 framesets

Yes there’s the odd MT4, hasn’t been an MT5 in a while and the only Decade ever sold was the red one I had , which has been through about 4 people on here so far.
There’s a few MT5 owners bikes in this thread inc a rare custom painted green one

At the weekend I was given the challenge of identifying this bike which is unbranded. It has a Dyn-Tech frame but is it a Raleigh. So far I have been unable to match to early 90s catalogues in America, UK (where I am) and Germany, The serial number is GC3050463.

It has variety of group sets installed:
Main tubes: Aluminium or Titanium alloy
RD: Deore DX
FD: Deore DX
Chainrings: Shimano Biopac—SG
Front hub: Shimano Deore DX HB-M650
Rims: 26” Anaya RM-20 Super Hard
Brakes: Shimano SLX Cantis
Headset: Shimano STX
Quill Stem: Might be dated 96
Forks: Chrome
I have been unable to match the: top tube “braze” ons, top of the seat tube, seat stays and rear brake cable stop to a Raleigh model.

What are your thoughts, please ?

One for Mr Perkins to have a look at. Leave with me!

Diablo with decals on main tubes removed?

Replacement forks and stem I'd guess.

If you are looking to restore, I have a set of ugli forks in what looks like the same blue.

The top of seat tube looks to be different.

Show me a picture of a Diablo with the same construction at the top of the seat tube/stays?

And the stays are not joined before reaching the seat tube.

I'm not so sure it is a Raleigh. The serial number doesn't look like a Raleigh one. The cable guides don't look right either

Note the? in my post. It was merely a suggestion of identity, not a conclusive identification.
