FS: Raleigh Special Products, DynaTech 400, steel/aluminium bonded frameset, 58cm,

i went a little crazy this summer with my unfortunate obsession for bonded frames, and this is a leftover.

Very good cosmetic condition, stickers starting to peel but no noticable dings or scratches, other than the chain stay. The fork has a couple of spots where the rust has come through as well.

the bike is super-fun to ride; I would keep it, but I have a second dynatech 400, which is a 56, that I'm using in its place. it looks great, and the crazy short wheel base and forged alloy stays make it feel zippy (at least to me).

All of the bonds seem strong--although to be honest, I don't really know what I'm looking for. I built the bike up and rode it and couldn't detect any problems.

and for the bad news: I have been told that these should be 126mm rear spacing, though I have also seen them with 130mm as well. I have an identical frame I ride with 130mm (8/9/10 speed) wheels. However, here the chain stays have been compressed to 123mm; you can still pull the chainstays apart and put a 130mm wheel in. I rode it like that (admittedly very briefly) without issue. It would probably be wise to get some framesaver or other equivalent, as there is a bit of rust flaking onto the BB area.

PM (being) sent

still available.

Great colour scheme. I've also got a 400 (ditto on the bonded frames love) but it's in a rather alarming shade of salmon. GLWS

Still available; and yes, I would take 90 shipped.
