That's certainly a lot more information than can be gleamed from the few Raleigh catalogs out there. Like I said, I'm not too familiar with these, but it's surprising to me considering the dynatechs which were built in the UK around the same time. Especially the gauges, they aren't very thin, nor is the frame weight very light. The standard TT half-oversize 1 3/16 (half way between 1 1/8 and 1 1/4) DT is interesting too. Do you know what year the Team 753/steel techniums were introduced? I'm trying to figure out where it fits in relative to the dynatechs. Fignon was riding a 753 dynatech in 1989, which is sort of alluded to in the article, but the article makes it sound as if the steel techniums came first. These techniums certainly are an unusual one.
