Raleigh special products lo pro

I've just picked one of these up from the Cycle Workshop in Oxford I've hunted the web hi and lo (geddit) and the nearest I can come to getting any information on it is an old special products brochure showing the titanium version and a bloke selling a 'Dyna Tech' equivalent on the bay. Frame number is 023061. Rare as hens teeth it would seem..........Help?

Pics?

I remember that one on ebay - pretty unique

ok. Pics tomorrow. (Bust camera). bare with me. Cheers.

if it is a special products raleigh the frame number would start with sb
if it's a higher grade bike made in worksop the frame number would start with a W

yours starts without a letter ?

either as you say it is rare as hens teeth or it is just a regular raleigh

would be interested in seeing pics of it

There is lettering accross the bb shell I'll Check it when I'm home and wang up some photos too.

I'm also looking for info on Raleigh low-pros. Won one on the ebays last week. Going to collect it this week. Looks like this:

With the exception of an auction for a very similar frame (Smaller, and a lower grade steel) I can't find any other pictures of them.

Don't know much beyond it being 2080 Reynolds tubing (which is apparently better than 753, but who knows). It's Dyna-tech, so I'll never ride it on anything other than that really smooth bit of bike path by Spitalfields. I read about one (dyna-tech low-pro) on retro-bikes (although couldn't see pictures) that was custom made by Gerald O'Donovan of RSP. Know nothing else though. Anyone?

gerald o'donovan built the very best raleighs in ilkeston
he was in charge of the SB division

try the raliegh group on yahoo forums / groups some very knowledgable chaps on that group who will certainly be able to give you more info about the bike and it's history

I got a Dyne-Tech titanium frame a couple of years back, and it was one of the worst frames I have ever had the misfortune to ride on. No, its coming back to me now, it was by far the worst frame I have ever ridden, like a piece of wet pasta and it snapped after 6 months. Just thought I would share that.

Lose some weight.

Dyna-techs are famous for failing. Seems like it's the bonding that usually went though, not frames snapping!

Anyway, I got this one for a steel, so I'm not too bothered. It's a Sunday bike, and with any luck the components on it will be decent too.
