Raleigh dyna tech solaris titanium frame is in a white pearl finish which is the original paint measures 20 from middle of bb to top of seat clamp area. Bb threads are good. Had the plan to build it but not going to get round to it. I do habe the original group set that came of it aswell which is really good condition but would be extra.

Retro Schwinn Mountain Bike Frame Homegrown Race c. 1994/5 USA Control Tech

Retro Schwinn Mountain Bike frame – unidentified. I have researched as much as I can on the t’interweb and through old catalogues to find out what I can but as it is an early mid 90s frame info is limited. From the frame details and spec I believe this to be circa 1995. The Assymetrical chainstays with the dropped right side date from this period and the lack of disc tabs seems to point to it being no later. This may be a homegrown but the colour is unusual for this. However the colour is also unusual for other models from this era. The closest colour scheme I can find is on a photo on a page from the 1995 catalogue showing who I expect to be Tim Gould riding no doubt a race frame from the 1994 season. This is backed up by an ebayer who discovered lots of pictures of Tim riding a bike with this colour scheme on Fat Tyre. Copy and paste this link to have a look! The frame came with high spec components and a’Homegrown’ tomato embroidered saddle so this also points to this maybe being a Homegrown? Another interesting detail I haven’t seen on other Schwinns is the oversizing near the BB junction on the downtube Maybe an experimental thing? Some of the early Homegrowns were made by Control Tech and there does seem to be variations on the early models. I have received a message from another ebayer who bought one of these back in the day who says this is a Homegrown and believes it was one of the Yeti built ones. It has some marks and scuffs and scratches. It appears to have a non original replacement hanger as fit isn’t quite flush. Paint is flaking too. Seat Tube = 19 (480 mm) Centre to Top. Top Tube = 22 (560 mm) Centre to Centre. Weight = 4.31lb/1.955kg.
