Not trying to hijack the thread. But, I've got an old Technium myself. I believe it's the first year model. I've been using it for about 6 years myself, no problemo. Techniums came equipped with nice Araya wheels. My frame can handle big 27" x 1-3/8" (35mm) Michelin Pro-Tek tires. I think the Technium is one of my sweetest rides. (All my bikes are for sale but, I think I'll keep this one).
