My brief experience with a Technium dittoes crazyb. I bought the Raleigh below at a garage sale. It's a 1986 model based on the Suntour LePree deraileurs. It was in great shape and I thought I was going to upgrade the components and make it one of my main bikes. I tried riding it a few times and thought it was too harsh a ride and I just could not find a comfortable position for me on this bike. I sold it on craigslist for $65. I did some research on ebay and found a number of Techniums for sale at over $100, but most were not selling. Mine did not have index shifters or aero brakes. I still feel it was one of the best looking bikes I've ever found.
