Somebody thought it would be a good upgrade on my recently acquired (1993-ish?) Raleigh Technium, too. This oddball is clearly labeled Reynolds 531 tubes and I've been told the lugs are Aluminum. I don't think the current alu Alan fork was original, at least.
It could be the V-rims and skinny tires I put on it after the "as found" pic, but this is definitely the harshest riding bike in my rotation right now. Feels fast, though.
