Great minds!

Well, I've been lurking around for ages but now, with some "motivation" from the guys in the "Dat Ass" thread I decided it was time to start a CP thread on my recently acquired 1990's Raleigh Dyna Tech Pro Ti.
So, I was doing my morning round on this fabulous Dutch thing called Marktplaats (compare it to Craigslist) when I stumbled upon a a badly advertised Raleigh frame set. The mono stay immediately caught my eye since a while back I had been drooling over Laurent Fignon's Castorama team bike.

I called the guy who advertised it, made an offer and hoped for the best. There was quite a strong bidding race on it since there also where some Delta's included with the sale. Luckily he called back and the deal was made.
I went to pick it up and the frame-set is in stunning condition! The only downside is that some of the stickers are a bit faded due to sunlight.
This is the exact frame set, but mine has a white FF which matches the rear.

The rear wishbone is absolutely stunning! I'm still trying to figure out whether the rear triangle is also made from titanium. Does anyone know?

As said in the topic title, I'll try to get the bike full C-rec. The Delta's are already there. Laurent Fignon's machine will be the inspiration! I have some other bits laying around but I will have to search for some other bits (descent wheel set, crankset etc.)

The bike is currently at my GF's in Amsterdam but i'll take it home this weekend and post some pictures of my own!
