I will sell this in a few weeks. Want to finish the build im working on with it before I do so . Watch this space and Dibs here pls. Then send a PM
NB. If a ‘dibbed’ pulls out then it’s offered to
The next - BUT if someone offers to buy the complete bike they’ll get priority and a small deposit will secure it for them.

I’m currently finishing the build - I want to take some pictures and put it up against the lovely Torus XT build which will be in December BoTm. If it wins the buyer gets a can of Tenants Super to go with it !
Once that’s done I’ll bid it goodbye - BUT I want it to go to someone who’ll cherish this - not abuse it. These are very rare - I’ve no idea how Many were made, but it’s history and lineage and fact that this was a Limited Edition means it’s even more precious.
I’ve seen many Mk II Trimmel forked bikes - nearly all of them Torus - I’ve only ever seen this Decade with Mk I forks and one other on Retrobike.
It’s wonderfully light - noticeably lighter than my Bianchi Ti Reparto Corse.

So £450 is a bargain and £850 for the complete build is a bargain. If this were a mass produced aluminium American made bike with garish colours it’d have been worth a lot

The bike is drop dead gorgeous and a keeper

I want this to go to a good home - and to be treasured. I’d rather sell the complete bike as it has some really choice carefully bought rare parts - it’s also a beautiful bike and now very light at around 20 lbs after shedding the heavy campag stuff (beautiful though it was)

Collection only from London - or buyer arrange courier.

Here’s she in full Euro livery - will take some snaps of her in boutique lightweight livery
And yes, the Red does actually glow like that
Wonderful high end bike.
(My current version is much nicer, lighter and cooler than the stock catalogue spec)

Re:

Hi,

Can I have dibs on the frame & forks please? Can you confirm what size frame it is?

Cheers
Ed
 
Re: Raleigh Dynatech Decade - regretful sale - ON HOLD pls Dib

Apologies
- it’s either 17 or 18 but I’ll check.
Frame and forks package been dibbed earlier today but potential buyer may pull out - so anyone here who’s interested pls Dib here.
Ed has second Dib on this.

NB. I should’ve stated - If anyone wants to buy the complete bike they’ll get priority.
 
Re: Raleigh Dynatech Decade - regretful sale - ON HOLD pls Dib

I'll take the whole bike.

Cheers
Ed
 
It is a beauty and I wouldn’t want to sell it to anyone outside the fold and only to someone who’d cherish it and Ed is the man!

Anyone know how many of these were built? I’m talking about the Decade limited edition package rather than MT5 frames.
 
Just want to add that I also own a Decade with a MK1 fork - interestingly in the MT5 paintscheme.

Maybe we can exchange the frame numbers to get an idea about the amount produced?

With kind regards,
Volker
