Dyna-Tech Fan
Getting around to building this one that arrived earlier this year. I had been looking for a DT-700 frame and have been accumulating some 6400 Tricolor to build it to something approaching catalogue spec. I gave up as what I saw was too small or too rough.
While waiting for the right one to come up this 2080 tubed Dyna-Tech Pro came up. Think I’ve got a 1990 model which was a frame only option and it’s just under the Cronos in the range. Forgive me - this is all internet wisdom so correct away! It was the wishbone rear stays that did it for me. From what I’ve read 2080 is Reynolds 753?
Anyway, it came with a lovely Mavic headset and what looks to me like a high end SKF bottom bracket. The bottom bracket certainly feels like a high quality item, would be interested to know more if anyone has any info. Both were pretty stuck, the bottom bracket eventually came out with the right tool. The headset I’ve ended up leaving - if it ain’t broke etc. I tried to undo it with the right sized spanner but it wouldn’t budge, I didn’t want to risk mullering the alloy so as it feels perfect I’ve left it alone. The only reason for removing would be to change for a Shimano 600’to match the rest of the bits I’ve got but Mavic it shall remain.

Some parts I’ve accumulated. The Tricolor I had hoarded a load for another build, this is the best of what’s left dismantled, fettled and oiled along with some brifters courtesy of @Mod-Master which I’ve now refurbished. Turns out RSX hoods fit these!
