SS Raleigh Dyna-Sentinal So I bought a Raleigh Dyna-Tech Sentinel from the classifieds a few months ago – The chap I bought it from had it from new and had only upgraded the forks but he still had the originals wrapped in bubblewrap. When I collected it: I wanted something super simple and...

It goes without saying that most people on this forum prefer old bikes to new but just wondering what are your reasons ? My personal reasons as to why I prefer older bikes to newer bike are (in no particular order): And just for reference I have owned modern bikes and I don't hate them I just...

Got my 92 Dyna-Tech Sentinal almost sorted. The original fork is back on after removing the crown race from the RS2 fork that was fitted. All seated correctly etc however no matter what I do the headset has a fair amount of play. If I tighten the headset down to remove the play then I can barely...

I will post pictures soon but just wondering what can I realistically expect to get for the following, I am aware that the price is only what someone is willing to pay but if I can get some ideas on the below it will give me a starting point: 1. Very good (A couple of light scratches) working...
