Lugs/tubes exactly backwards from the more well-known Techniums (Technia?). I love it. And the add-on Alan fork makes mine even more mish-mashy. It'll be fun swapping in the cro-mo fork from the other Technium I bought along with it (same size) to see if I can notice any difference
Feel free to post scans of that catalog, if you got 'em. Certainly fits the thread. Email them to the ghost of Sheldon, too. He's missing that year, among others.
A little bar tape archaeology fun to go along with the tear-down. From left to right:
4th layer of white/blue/purple foam barftape
3rd layer of white/blue foam barftape
1st layer of the original uggo Raleigh logo vinyl tape
2nd layer of perforated blue vinyl tape
Four strikes, if you ask me
If anyone has a vintage Raleigh they want to beat really hard with the ugly stick, that (mostly intact) logo tape is available for shipping.
