Mystery bike - Any ideas?

Thanks for the ideas. After some quick searches of the site the frame looks very much like this 93 Raleigh Torus Ti, including the solid rear dropouts.

That's it! Great score.

Looks the same as my Raleigh dynatech tourus to me, albeit with different drop outs.

Checked it today. Definitely not steel, and doesn't scratch easily so not alloy.

Must be Ti and I'm certain it's a 93 Torus

Nice - you wouldn't happen to be wanting to part with it? :roll:

Thanks for all the help. Sadly the bike isn't mine, it was donated to the community bike workshop I volunteer at. It will probably be split and the frame sold on ebay, with all the other bits (mostly STX RC) going to build up another frame. It deserves a decent build and better kit than STX.

Yes, early Raleigh Torus.
I'm interested in one to anodise if it's a large and polished finish?

...I have never seen stuff riveted to steel. Only carbon, alu and ( fanfare) TITANIUM!

So you have never seen a Yeti Pro FRO?

Here are my two

this image says everything - its titanium. The welds and the material color/surface says titanium
