I'm not well versed on the success of spreading a Technium frame. I've heard yes and no. But if you plan on running an 8 speed cassette you'll need figure out how to fit it into the dropouts.

Edit added: I think you can run 8 of 9 with 9 speed spacing and 9 speed shifters.
The stays are chrome moly but the more I look, the more I'm thinking it's going to be more trouble than it's worth. I don't have any 27 inch wheels laced to an 8 speed cassette hub and no 47-57 reach brakes that would match the rest of the 105 to go 700c. Looks like the Technium goes back to my original plan for it which is 3X7 RSX. That bumps the 105 over to the '86 Schwinn Super Sport which came with 700c wheels. Other than having to repaint it that should be a pretty easy build. I'll probably paint it all red, I'm not a fan of the black stays.
