So a momentary lapse of control saw a last minute bid go in for a 1995 Raleigh M-Trax 2000Ti :roll:
I have always been quite intrigued by these being bonded and all
For a British made frame there seemed to be little love for the M Trax frames and as i love an underdog .....
Well the frame is in pretty good shape - a bit of patina but certainly no where near what I would have expected. The bits that look like rust in the pics is actually dirt
So this will become a spares box winter hack. Plan is to do something more befitting in the new year.
A Couple Of Starter Pics:
HT looks brazed but is actually a single piece lug - cast as I understand it.
The brazing of the frame is very neat and the frame has a couple of quirks like the demi chainstay bridge ...... complete with mud!
Original Spec List:
Decals:
The decals have seen better days so I have started mocking up replacements (still a WIP) - thankfully the HT badge is present.:
Will post up as the build develops.
Any comments regarding build etc please say
