Undercover Dynaflite

[onegoodbike]

It's had a rebranding but I'm confident there's a rarely seen SBDU Dynaflite frameset under that paint, so probably a nice buy if you're local or prepared to travel. Who knows when the next one will surface?.

Certainly has the hallmarks of a Ilkeston dynaflite 753. Expensive as is though and poorly listed - seller doesn't even list its frame size.

According to originalshinkickers SBDU website there may have only been 25 of these built, add to that the quality of the components and I'd have thought it was a bit of a bargain in the current retro-bike/bits climate?.

Who knows, but maybe the original owner worked at Raleigh and did indeed build it (as the ad states), they're selling out of Nottingham after all .

It'd be interesting to know if it has a frame number.

Only 25 ovaid-tubed/aero-profiled models were built? I didn't know that.

This bike looks 22½" - 23" in size. What's the Olympique rebranding link?

Can't help with the Olympic/Olympique branding, although it appears there was a shop called Olympic Cycles in Nottingham in the past.
