I've had a bunch of Techniums over the years, but the second generation, 90's bikes came and stayed.
Love the aluminum lugs and exotic steels
1993 Raleigh USA MT500
Front half of the frame is 7005 double butted aluminum bonded to a Tange Prestige steel rear triangle. Only two bond points!
Have had it for at least 15 years, and built as a SS, 7 speed, and now with a group off a neighbor's cracked Gary Fisher frame.
1993 Raleigh USA Technium RT600 Competition
Reynolds 531 main tubes and fork, and 4130 steel stays
Nice timeline for Technium at Mombat:
