1994 Raleigh M-Trax Ti 3000

lincs90smtb · Mar 26, 2023

Having sold my 1998 Kona Hahanna last weekend to a local retro enthusiast, and forum member, part of the deal was to get my old Raleigh M-Trax Ti 3000 frame back.

I had to get some UGLI's for it, as I had never had any in the past, again obtained via here.

A few smaller bits have been purchased so far, so I will be able to hit the ground running once I have finished my 1992 Raleigh Peak.

Got a photo of what I have so far, and more updates along the way.

What's the plan for it? OEM spec and have the fork painted or something different?

OEM spec paint (Forks Included!) re-decal, and put some something like OEM spec, poss OEM+ with period bits.

We shall see!

Nice, can’t wait to see it come together. Am I right in thinking the Ti3000 forks were cromo rather than Titanium (albeit the same design)? In 96 I bent mine in just a few weeks from new.

Thanks.

The Ti 3000 were Cromo, and the Ti 4000 were Ti.

I hear they had a tendency of bending!

Oh and yours is a stunner!

I have seen that one before when searching around

Well, I have finally got all the parts gathered together for the Ti3000.

Paint is ordered, so this will be started as soon as I have the 1992 Peak built up.
