I found the Technium Supercourse that I mentioned in an earlier post, but it's for the 1992 model. It's almost identical to the 1991 with hte most notable exception being the adoption of a new seat lug with two bolts, though it's not the same lug used on the UK Dyna-Tech models. Here's the important information, without scanning the entire article, which is spread over five pages.

Thanks for that, [MENTION=20650]T-Mar[/MENTION]. I think you just posted some info that is is not available anywhere else on the net. Raleigh catalog info for N America models from late 80's to about 2004 seems to be pretty scarce. As in not available, at all. Some of us weirdos are actually interested in this stuff. :P

At any rate, I now have the Raleigh USA Kent, WA address. I drive past within a mile or two of that location once a month or so. Now I'm ready to make a small side trip pilgrimage and see what's currently in that location these days. :)

This has been a very helpful thread! I just purchased one that had been neglected in a garage, but it's in seriously bad shape. I don't think it will take a lot of money to fix it up, but definitely time.

Thanks for sharing, if you ever get a chance to scan the whole road test that would be great ! Interestingly the gears are shown as 30/42/52 and 13/15/17/19/21/23/26 for the 1992 version and as 28/44/50 and 13/23 in the German catalog. I'll have to count the teeth on mine...a 1991 version that I was given when did an internship at the Kent factory back in...1991. Good times ! I've kept it all these years and moved back and forth between Europe and the US twice ! On one occasion it got bounced around pretty bad and the saddle post got jammed but I found a fix. Anyway it's still going strong and I plan to use it for some climbing in the mountains this summer.

I still have this bike and as I get older, it's my dumb reach. It covers all the bases for me. It may not be C&V sexy, but I still dig it

That blue 1991 version ?

So I counted the teeth and found the rear is in fact 13/15/17/19/21/23/25 so not 13/23 as shown in the German catalogue (unless my eyes are failing me). I must have the US catalogue somewhere in a box so I'll try to dig it out at some point. The FD is indeed 28 for the smallest and 50 for the big one and the second one is likely 42 (chain is on it so I didn't count it). Mine is a 58 frame (I'm 6'3") so I'm not sure how tall you need to be to ride on the 60 and 62 frames ?! It weight in at 11kg which is pretty decent for a bike that size .

Pretty good range in any case : 8.27m to 2.41m / 385%

Yep. The blue one is mine. At 6'-3" depending on arm and leg length, I would guess you would need at least a 60cm

Well I'm happy to report that my trusty 1991 DC Supercourse was a great companion this summer and let me climb my first passes in the Alps courtesy of the 28x26 granny gear ! Hey on a 10% slope at 90 rpm that's about 330 watts or 4.4 watts/kg for me, that's a lot ;-) In any case it was a terrific experience and I'm thinking I might want to get a modern bike at some point...
