I just bought this bike and from the pics I thought it could be a Raleigh.
That was comfirmed when I arrived and saw the little sticker. :)
But now to determine what year and type it is.
The serial number on the sticker has a 91 in it, so is in the one under the BB.
But.. I don't see this type of frame in the catalogues before '93.
The parts aren't helping either. The forks and rear mech are '96 but the cranks are november '92.
The rest of the parts are pretty crappy, a lot has been changed through the years.

So I hope you guys can help me :)

Re: Raleigh Ti John Tomac '93

Thanks, how do you see the difference between a Torus and an MTi?
I searched a lot and all I could find was MTi.

Are these the correct decals?

I'm not expert for Raleigh, for me MIT is titanium/luged with permabond, Torus is welded. I'm not totaly sure.
 
Re:

I had the t version of this bike years ago and it was fantastic. Got my pbs on it and won tt's. Loved it.

My info about it it they called the ti timet titanium which was Russian ti sheet rolled and seam welded.
I coul see where the seam was on mine. Didn't stop it being a great bike The material would have been too hard to extrude tubes from apparently.
