Raleigh M Trax 450 build

[going_downhill]

I've had this frame for some time now and this is the first time its EVER had parts fitted. Its had a good shelf life thats for sure.

The frames Reynolds 853 and i think a 97 model? correct me if you wish :?

More progress to follow soon..

Nice; but I rather think it's crying out for a red fork rather than a blue one...

Very nice, it's from 1999 I think. Sadly not retro enough for some, but a stunning frame none the less. The 1999 RSP line up are some of my favourite bikes ever.

If you can do a retromod build using new kit on a retro frame then surely it works the other way round too?

Retro kit on a nearly retro frame??

(If you were to swap those DX V's for canti's that is...)

^^^^ What he said ^^^^

yeah red forks will come in time if a nice enough set surface. i think the sid's deserve to see day light again. i forgot how light they are! Ah maybe its a couple of years fresher than i thought... retro enougb for me anyhow

Like the colours and paintwork on that frame... not quite retro but its got style

How much more retro can you get than... ...'flames?'

Aha... agreed!

It came with a Manitou SX fork as standard, although a set of red SID's would be amazing. Catalogue link.
