Stunning bike - lovely thoughtful build - and such a classy bike.
Underrated and well worthy.
As you know I’ve it’s elder brother the Dynatech Decade (now undergoing a make over as I sold the Campag parts) so really have a lot of respect and admiration for a rare Raleigh

Kind words, thank you. I really enjoyed doing this one, some interesting challenges but well worth it. It rides so smoothly, nice natural flex in the frame and forks and is super light. I'd like to do another signature Ti frame build, but what I'm thinking are Unicorn-like.

Meanwhile, I've got a slightly tatty KHS Montaña Team with a lodged seatpost that I'm contemplating....

For sure one of the best looking bikes of the era, and a real coup for it being Raleigh, as normally they're associated with the mustang or the activator. et all.

It is actually hard to look at this beauty and associate it with Raleigh.

Well done. I also had a torus, but alas never got the forks. It is by far top of my list of best bikes ever.

Re:

Fantastic looking build. I love the forks on these. Bet it turns a few heads and a worthy contender to Dec BOTM...

Good luck!
