So get a new crotch ;-)

I have five bikes- not counting a Dahon Vitesse folder which may or may not turn out to be a good commuting bike- but my favorite is a Raleigh Technium I acquired in 1984 (and it's is still too big for me ;-)

It sounds like the Technium you were looking at is not pristine. But the frame is the thing. If it is teal, grey, and yellow, I'll join the bidding.
