Raleigh Dynatech Quantum build

[ibbz]

This is coming along nicely
I’m surprised you went for the new Seatpost rather than something Retro and branded

Fitted a new 26.4mm seat post from chain reaction cycles and seat clamp that I salvaged from another Dyna tech. Anybody know this clamp? Not sure what it is but it is very light.

Had few gt’s with similar qr clamp

Pleased that I have the original plug for the fork. Cleaned up and re fitted. It’s these little touches that I appreciate.

Yeah, I have the original Dyna tech seat post but it’s a bit worn. I’ve searched for period correct black 26.4mm posts but it seems like a tricky size to find. If something comes up I’d definitely swap it out. I just wanted something clean to keep the build looking fresh.

I had a similar one on a specialized Stumpjumper frame from 1996 before. It’s a nice item and as I mentioned it’s very light.

Scrubbed this 7 speed cassette up tonight using boiling water, fairly liquid and kitchen degreaser cleaner. Not sure of the model/spec but it came off a fairly decent set of early 90’s wheels from a Dyna tech Ogre so hoping it’s not too crappy quality. I’d rather a nice 8 speed XT item but I’m all out of those at the mo having built my Zaskar LE and 97 Stumpy recently. This will have to do for now.

Think that’s an Odyssey Svelte, I had some skewers the same BITD.

Any Svelte seat QRs still out there? (Not purple :wink: ) Ta.

So the build has been a bit slow over the last few weeks but is taking shape. Just the brakes to sort out.

After months and months of searching I have finally managed to source a very clean Vetta SL saddle. Came off a very low use donor bike.
