Raleigh Dyna Tech appreciation and information thread

[bikemeister2000]

Here's my recently acquired RSP Ti MTB frame:-

Not 100% sure about the year, but think it may be a '97. Although, in the '97 catalogue the frame seems to be TIMET but this one is IMI. :? Can anybody help with the date please?

Thanks...

Nice frame. IMI was where we got the tubing from. It was in Swansea. The silver BS6102 sticker shows it was sold into the trade as a frame only.
The bead blast finish is great and the decals are original.
Love it, Merry Christmas

Thanks for the info bikemeister. Merry Christmas to you too.

I've wanted to try one since I took these pics of Barrie Clarke's at Llandrindod Wells cycle museum last year. Love the yellow 'team' decals and blue ano X-Lite / Hope parts.

Very sweet 8lezard, like it a lot! Look forward to a build - are you going for the Barrie Clark spec? Not to encourage wanton spending for our viewing pleasure of course... :twisted:

The only differences between Barrie's frame and yours is that his was a made to measure, and polished not bead blasted. Bead blasted is a better finish for the long term.

Ha, ha! A BC rep would be cool, but will take time and a few quid! Immediate plan is to build it up with parts I mostly already have (Judy XC and XT drivetrain) and see how it rides...

Barrie's seat post is a Kalloy SP-248 and the Stem is from Jou Ding (Tranz-X) with an RSP logo on it.

It's not the parts, but the sum of the whole (that includes Barrie)

Hello of friends of the English traditional brand,

there the Tread is in the process being fallen asleep, so I would like to give some new live with the structure of my first winter project. In the next days I will document the progress. The basis originates from a friendly forum member from the Netherlands, to whom I took up contact in the English forum. Like you see, the international communication among Classicbike friends works realy perfect .

Best greetings from Mainhatten

Looks to be in lovely condition DTR, what plans do you have for the build so far?

Mostly though I'm just jealous of your workshop - from that glimpse it looks excellent!

Lovely condition frame! You going for a full Campag rebuild?

Hi Dynatechrider and welcome to our home. You have a fantastic early Dyna-Tech there. I look forward to seeing the build.
Back in the day we did export some Dyna-Techs to both Holland and Raleigh Germany. We also sold some special models to ZEG.
Best regards
