89 THM Raleigh Dyna-Technicolour

[The History Man]

This has had a few incarnations since coming to me. It will never leave. I like it a lot. It makes me smile and actually, in it’s current configuration, rides quite nicely. On the shakedown ride I was pointed at by a small child who attempted to shout all the colours as I sped past her garden. My work here is done.

I have a few ‘proper’ builds and beautifully finished bicycles. The collection has always included something for light relief. Some would say dark nights. I shall trawl through my pics and make this a home, not just for Dyna, but for those ridden at mayhem bringing delight to the retro clan, children, spectators, campers, riders and cataract sufferers.

Today’s shakedown shambles.

Another beautiful creation.

 

[The History Man]

Yes. Oh yes!

Where’s the stumpy 69er? You may not pass without tribute. Or a kiss.

And of course, the original one and only (Drumm roll) Trigger’s Broom.

The stuff of nightmares

 

[The History Man]

The stuff of nightmares

Memories, misty water-coloured memories, of the the way we were…………

Will we ever return? I do hope so.

I have a cunning (build) plan.

 

[Peachy!]

And is it as hot as my pants?

So, after seeing this



I had a headache and a shuffle and a search and solved a few issues. Only bike related ones I’m afraid.


And came up with a dummy run before attacking Dyna.
