Anyone tried removing the cable guides on these frames ? MT5 look similar to the lower spec titanium framesView attachment 827602

Same rear triangle as an MT4 / Ogre.
As for the cable guides: a drill and a steady hand, through the rivet head would possibly be the way to go.

I was Pretty sure they looked to be riveted on but wasn’t sure if they were bonded as well

Removed damaged cable guides they were definitely bonded too as well as riveted. Makes removing them without damaging them difficult now the hunt for replacements begins

Nice to see a little sun made the most of it. First time out on the torus in a while these bikes ride so well

It might be worth trying to glue the bits back together, and then seeing if you can get 3D printed copies made. I'm going to try it with some cable guides for my BE Pro Carbon. Buying replacements might be a tall order

Now! That’s a thought if I can’t find a suitable donor frame that will definitely be worth investigating

As it is a flat part (when laid on it's side) and not too thick I would go for getting it laser or waterjet cut. Then should be an easy job to drill it for the countersinking and through for the two mounting holes.

Not a previous Raleigh owner but I’ve always wanted a titanium bike and this came up 6 minutes from my house. What was the retail of the torus range (STX/LX/XT)?

Thought it looked ruff in the ad but it’s actually some odd brown grease that was used and very little attention given over the last few years. Absolutely no chain slap on the chainstay, no chain suck and nothings seized…it’s a miracle!

It’s bone stock, I’m going to refurb it and then see if I can ride a 16 inch bike as I’m normally at 17.5!

I did a double take with that steerer extension.
Model range was as you said - STX, LX and XT. Seat's not original but you've done alright there

What’s the retail for each model? Can’t find any info!?
