Raleigh Decade in MT5 paintscheme (nobody knows why... )
Almost New.
XMT 100 Metal Matrix Composite main tubes
Titanium chainstays and dropouts
Trimnell MK1 fork

And if you don't like the Spin wheelset, the original xtr 900 /Bontrager is not far away.

Seems to be one of the first Decades distributed to Germany.

You all need to format the posts for ease of collation. It includes a line such as:

THM’s 1989 Dyna 500gti

then your pictures. Make it use friendly when building the voting thread.

edit: and your making me twitch/tick.

Those two Decades are beautiful, those forks are amazing, why didn't that design take off?

The MK 2 was a lot more successful, but in the end (if spending a hell lot of money for a fork) it's a question of weight and performance.

Even Votec tried (to sell double crown rigid forks), but it's really hard to gind one (for an old Votec Tox frame).

Dammit! I'm never going to have my Dynatech Team ready in time for this!

I'm approx. 700 km away from home. During the next 10 days the 'pedal issue' sadly cannot be fixed

A new description for the BotM will follow soon!
