Well, now that we are all sure this is indeed an AlumiTech, I can tell you that your really going to enjoy the ride. A quick handling, lightweight bike that gives a nice ride, almost steel like IMHO. The smooth ride could be because of the alloy fork and stays. These also still look pretty modern with the somewhat smooth, glued lugs and slightly oversized tubes. I almost always get compliments from other riders when I ride mine.
Now, what are your plans for her? Mine is all original with Wolbur rims and Shimano 105 and it's a fine group for her.This frame is definitely worthy of a re-paint and decal job. Just check the lug joints and make sure the glue is still solid. Shouldn't be a problem though.
Good luck!
