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 ?

Diablo with decals on main tubes removed?

1992 Raleigh Dyna Tech Diablo When I collected this bike during the summer it wasn't in the best of states. The original stem had been replaced with an ill fitting quill adaptor and the titanium bars were bent and distorted. The rear hub was also badly worn. However underneath the grease, dirt...

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.
