I found this Raleigh Technium at a garage sale today, its a $10 special. The frame is 6130 aluminum with chro-moly fork and stays. The components are: Suntour Le PREE deraileurs, Sakae SA crank, Sakae GT bars, Rigida 27" alloy rims, Custom stem, and DiaCompe brakes. The Suntour deraileurs have an age code that indicates they were manufactured in March 1986. The tires are aged, but show almost no wear. The scratches on this bike are from storage, not from riding. As an example, the chain stay has no protector decal, but there is not one mark on it. The chain appears to be original and still has the bluing on the inner links, the way it came from the factory. I estimate there is not more than 200 miles on this bike. I need to change the deraileur cables and check the wheel tru, but thats about it. Unfortunately, the shifters are friction only, not indexed. Note: the rear brake cable is located inside the top tube.
