It's an interesting one! I'm pretty sure those frames have 1.25" headtubes and no rear derailleur cable routing as the shifter was attached to the seat clamp. Do you have matching forks? Did Martyn ever have this built up? I remember him being on the Beast of the East frames at trials...

Re: Unfortunately it's the 1989 Limited Edition frame with some gold bits from Hatfield Cycles which has been up on ebay a few times before, and not the legendary Prestige model as pictured in MatBH5's post. There's also a rather unfortunate dent in the top tube if you look at the linked flickr...

Prestige MFs come up pretty rarely: https://www.ebay.de/itm/MuddyFox-Courie ... 2180703179 Looks pretty much original spec to me.

Re: Are those actual Spinergy wheels on that otherwise utterly turdastical thing?

http://www.ebay.de/itm/Muddy-Fox-Bike-M ... Sw5dNWrTHv BIN of 220 euros. Ships only to Germany and Austria apparently. This is the fillet brazed Tange Infinity frame very near the top of the line for 1989 and originally with Deore II. The forks, stem and bars are present, along with some of...

Re: Nice job! The frame is unusual without the monostay or polished lugs of the bikes in the catalogues. It does have the Dyna-Tech sticker on the downtube from 1991 rather than "Raleigh" which the 1990 frames had, but who knows how accurately that dates it. I had a '91 Dyna-Tech 600 as my...

Re: Megamo were a Spanish brand big in the bike trials world in the mid 90s to early 2000s. There was a time where it seemed most of the UK trials competitors were riding them. I owned a couple and still have one in the garage. They were pretty sorted bikes for trials, despite being a bit...

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Raleigh-Dyna- ... 4897.l4275 Some parts are a little ropey, some covered in rust and collection only, but should be a pretty special frame. Were the XMT100 frames in these colours team issue only?

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Greg-Lemond-9 ... 1196515337 It's a '91 frame, same as LemondFan's RBOTM from 2010, with at least a few C-Record Century parts - I can see delta brakes and the cranks. The description says it comes with 8 speed ergo powers and Omega rims. And it's currently going...

Quite a few interesting frames and parts from this French seller, including the following three personal highlights: TVT92HM with Bottecchia decals ala 1989 ADR/Lemond: http://www.ebay.com/itm/TVT92-HM-Greg-L ... 338816ac96 TVT92HM in Banesto colours with an interesting 'monobloc' head tube...

This seller has come up a few times before but I still find the prices mind boggling absurd. £65 for an XT shark fin? £128 for some toe straps? Page after page of it, 55 in total, and judging by the feedback he sells tons of it too. more discussion here...

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Greg-Lemond-b ... 3cd36181e3 Nice looking frameset. This looks to be from 1992 or so, certainly later than the similarly painted prototype frame used by Lemond in Paris-Nice, or the dark blue frames used by team Z in the 1991 TDF, as it has the later horizontal...

A mildly nutty drop bar angle combined with totally bonkers tri bar positioning leaves me struggling to work out what you'd actually hold on to when riding it.

If you can't stomach the C-Record kit, you could consider Dura Ace and still retain period correct credentials. Given you've got yourself a Dyna Tech, and a Ti one at that, this might put your frame into the era when Castorama were running Shimano. On the other hand, that wishbone could well...

Lovely build. Is there a story behind the frame? Looks to be in superb condition. To follow up Pat's post, here are many more pictures of Lemond's 1990 TDF winning bike: http://www.bikecult.com/works/archive/06bicycles/lemondTVT90TdF.html They may provide more inspiration for authentic...
