Raleigh Dyna Tech appreciation and information thread

[mk one]

Is there a Serial Number resource for the dynatechs? I picked up what I think I have identified at a 1994 dynatech torus based on photos from this forum.... very thankful for that. but I need to find out what size seatpost I need. Someone wrinkled the seat tube a tad and now it measures 30mm which seems to be fairly uncommon. Was it supposed to be 31.6mm for the seatpost? I will try to figure out how to post pics this weekend for additional input perhaps.

30mm, or 28mm if shimmed.

Great thank you!

Great thank you!

Best to use a shim as the seat tubes can crack around the insertion point

Took it apart today and gave it a good clean. LX shifters are toast despite they look cosmetic in good condition, shifts are numb. Will try to clean them and get them back to working condition.
Seatpost was cut down to some 20 cm, stem 1 inch was fixed with a bushing to fit the 1.8 fork, not really secure

Removed all components, cable guide under bottom bracket fell of and someone tried to pinch a screw through the bottom bracket shell . Some mechanics...

Overall frame is in good condition, decals are apart from some small nicks still OK.

Fork has most marks but I found my old Mag21 is nearly same colour so as grey tubes, slightly more yellow. What do you think about adding this here?
Wheels replaced with some XT /Ambrosio and butterscotch Tioga's, another seatpost with Vetta seat, non branded stem and True Temper bar.

Question for the "sharkfin": this came with this frame but is a Proline. Material is softer compared to the XT fin and slightly different shape. Is this original? Don't see this in any folder.

Sharkfin: In a nutshell - no!

Built up this 1992 Ogre as close to catalogue spec as I could manage. Too small for me but I can still tell it’s a belter of a bike to ride.
