I'm picking up this bike from my buddy this weekend. He snagged it for me at a thrift store. I know it's bonded aluminum because of the raised edges were typical butting would be. The only identifying aspects are that it is a rose/pink color (under the black spray job), full Suntour Cyclone components, external cable stays, horizontal road style dropouts, bronze Arayas (may not be original), and the top of the upper chainstay that connects to the top of the seat tube has an "N" cast into it.

Thanks, guys and gals.

Poor bike! You might want to try graffiti remover if you're trying to save the original finish.
Looks like a upper end model with that Cyclone group.

Boy, someone really did a number on that, but it's all cosmetic. Ask a local body shop how to remove that spray; it'll come off, somehow. Cyclone may indicate a Technium Pro, but I think they were black. There are Technium aficianado's here. Almost everyone has had one or come across one.

Anyone else?

I'd check the Raleigh catalogs.
Or ask GMS here on Bike Forums.
He's a Raleigh guy, mostly older than those, but I'll bet he's sold a ton of Techniums.

Ta-da! Boy am I excited now. Much better than a Technium. Too bad some ******-nozzle spray painted everything.











What she originally looked like:

Man, who had that bright idea. Hope it all comes off!

Neat.

The full article here is an interesting read.

Yeah, I saw the article. I'm just going to strip it down and custom color it to my liking. My girlfriend's getting her custom painted bike as we speak, so I deserve one.

I dunno. It's made with large diameter Tange #1 tubing that is internally brazed and externally heli-arc welded. The "stress rings'' are an added touch in an effort to stiffen up the frame a bit.

Your garage is gonna start looking like mine soon. I was still hoping it was something odd like a CF Miyata.

Lord, I hope not. Lol. It is a sight to behold though.
