I picked this bike up in a rough state on Gumtree thinking I could service it, sell it on and make some money. Now it's finished and I've been on a ride on it it's much better than I thought and I'll keep it and use it this summer instead.
Almost original, with some good kit, but I swapped the SRAM composite RD for an old X9 I had in the shed and the Suntour chainset with missing teeth for a Truvativ. The shifting is great, even with the Gripshift.
It makes me wonder where it all went wrong with Raleigh on the MTB scene when their SPD could come up with such good bikes as the Dynatech & M-Trax ranges.
