Raleigh Dyna Tech appreciation and information thread

hi all, posted these on the main page, but since there’s an even more niche group of dynatech fans here then I think these will happily fit in here.
Ex team ‘92-‘93 bikes, a barrie Clarke and a caroline alexander (with trimmnel forks)
both owned by me for around 30 years and for the part been in storage post their heyday with occasional rides out here and there.

Absolutely stunning would love those,how did you manage to acquire them both?
 
Have had my MT'S in the garden airing, some adjustments were needed after a recent seat bolt failure on the MT3 and decided to put some Bill Bonkers on the MT4.

I briefly was around Raleigh in the early 90’s and also had friends who worked there, I raced junior then am cross country back then, so they were offered to me at the end of the season, been with me ever since.
 
Dug out properly my ex team Caroline alexander, switched all the commuter stuff back to treaded tyres etc.

Finally finished putting the MT4 together, that I got from @johndeverill in March 2020...

There isn't a build thread...I can't say there was much of a plan.

Took it out for a test ride. Needs a couple of small changes - longer stem, with a sharper angle, as I feel hunched over it. Middle ring is slipping and there's a weeping fork seal. The first two are likely to get changed in the next few days. The third will probably stay as it is.

Really like the way it rides. Very comfortable. Much softer than the RSP 550 or the Torus.

This is about as close as I get to full suspension.
