I had a Scott Tinley Technium back in 1985 it was my first "serious" road bike (Entry level racer, top of the line Technium), it had adjustable rear dropouts, main tubes of 6061 aluminum glued to the steel lugs and a steel rear triangle. Components were a mix of suntour cyclone 7000 with 6 speed indexed downtube shifters, dia compe royal grande comp brakes, SR handlebar and stem, Stronglight A-9 roller bearing headset.

I put many miles (at least 20k miles) on it until I broke the right chainstay in front of the derailluer drop out, (due to broken axle/strong rider ). Raleigh had a good warranty back then, I got a replacement (Technium Pro, Tinley models discontinued) for the cost of the LBS transfering the parts. Unfortunately I was naive when I bought the bike as it was just a tad too big (58cm, I can just stradle the top tube) and the replacement was the same size even though I requested the next size smaller . I still ride the Technium Pro as a commuter/clunker.

I recall the techniums seem to be rather harsh riding, definitly harsh when compared to my Vitus 979 and my full CF bikes. Handling was okay, I think the 58cm had a squarish geometry 73 head and seat tube angles.

All in all, it was an affordable entry level racer.
