Wanted Sub £1000 19" early 90s retro

[pencilman77]

Hi all,
Looks like my Cotic gravel bike is sold, so now on the hunt for a nice retro to replace it.i need...
-19" frame
-1990 -1994 vintage
-no projects, a bit of component swapping to my taste, but really want something pretty mint.
-preferably rigid, but definitely hardtail.
-my brain is thinking along the lines of Kona, Marin, GT, Cannondale...happy to consider others
Im down in Hampshire, but happy to travel for the right bike.
Does anyone have anything?

I have a Raleigh team ti I haven't used in a while that I should move on to someone who will use it. It's not wearing period correct parts for it's 93 frame vintage (I believe), as it's m952 gearing and brakes, middleburn cranks in blue, and lots of blue hope (hubs, qrs, stem etc). It's in vgc, a 19 inch frame and ready to ride once dust is blown off.

Both 17.5 c-c, 19 c-t. 92 Pine Mountain is a pro repaint and I have all the bits including fork, currently in London. 93 Team Marin was stripped, polished and new decals, currently in Somerset. PM if interesting.

Nothing current but I can grab some at the weekend.

Here's a thread showing it in a few guises.

Thread 'Raleigh Dyna-Tech Ti (Torus?)'

Mar 25, 2013

02/01/22. Rebuilt again, probably for the last time as it technically has a new owner as have traded it for something modern. Pics on page 3. Regret it will I (Yoda)?

13/03/13 Updated the build recently but not had a chance until now to update my build thread, so here goes:

Thomson stem (with a bit of rise for my creaking old back/neck) and seatpost added (replacing a stock post and a lovely x-lite stem)
Blue anno controltech bar added (replacing the use bar/bar ends)
Pace RC31 forks added (in place of the Pace RC38 Air Force II - keeping them in case I want to addd bounce later)...

It is currently built up with the original rigid triple butted cromo rigid forks in black.

Gears and brakes are xtr m952.
Cranks are blue middleburn rs7s with black ta specialties rings.
Wheels are hope ti glide rear and front in blue on Mavic cd rims (no labels so not sure of the model).
Stem is a blue hope xc.
Bars are blue controltech but was going to swap in some ti ones (original dynatech ones).
Seat post is a Thompson but have a black syncros I've been meaning to fit.
Saddle is a use carbon pro but can swap for a flite to (my bum likes the use saddle).
Blue hope seat clamp.
Tyres are charged splashback amber walls which are as new, were new when fitted and only ridden around the park.
Blue hope skewers, various blue alloy bolts, xtr cables, cassette is xt I think, chain is a gold kmc sl.

Frame is in vgc, very few marks, no chain suck, decals are tidy though a few scuffs to them and a few letters missing from titanium decal on top tube.

Happy to answer any questions and take some current pics if interested.

The last mod I was thinking of doing was to swap the brakes and levers out. I have some nos tech lite levers in blue, and some prg v brakes in blue (look like Paul's).
