Re: Re:
Called in to see my daughter & ex today (my birthday treat) for the first time in over 2 weeks as they'd had colds / Covid symptoms :cry:
Collected the Mission frameset - it's a 1991 as frame # starts B
Also took a cheeky photo of the Odyssey bike - had forgotten the ex still has my old 1994 M-trax Ti 2000 sandwiched between my Odyssey & daughters Giant Alu-Lite.

Re:
Another one added to the collection: Pre-production 1992 Dyna-tech Diablo 'Show' frameset
Cheap ebay purchase & didn't realise it had been for sale on here until speaking to the seller (PeterPerfect)
Spent this morning stripping it down to just the frameset ready for de-grease, wash, polish & wax.
As suspected the steel seatpost is stuck :facepalm: so currently upside down with a seat tube full of penetrating oil.
After cleaning off the swarf on the bb shell I spotted what looked like a second serial number almost completely hidden by the plastic cable guide.
Upon removal it revealed SB9551 (my David Baker race frame is SB9786) so definitely a custom Special Products build, which ties in with Peter's knowledge of it's previous history as a Show frameset.
The plan (once the seatpost is extracted) is to remove the badly scuffed & peeling "Dyna-tech" & "Diablo" decals and replace with new copies.
It will be built up with period XT gears & cantis plus best of British - blue Hope Ti-Glide wheelset, Middleburn, X-Lite , U.S.E etc.
All the removed serviceable parts will be donated to the local bike building charity.
The wheelset,Campagnolo Aconcagua rims on Alivio hubs,are super smooth & good overall condition so will probably appear in a for sale thread in the next few weeks.
Cheers
Dave

Any ideas how "retro" this Raleigh Jersey is? Hong Kong seems an odd place for a large quantity of retro raleigh jerseys to turn up.

I've been thinking about it for years on and off, but I've finally reached out to two local companies that make team / club cycle clothing to see if I can get some blue / black Dynatech replica jerseys made up
