Picked this bike up a couple days ago. Nice bonded frame. Aluminium lugs and tubing (Alcoa) in front triangle, steel tail. The orange is neon orange. Pace RC35 K forks.

Nice, loved the Techniums. Don't think I remember that colour though

In the catalogs and ads the orange looked redish, but in reality it is neon orange :) Maybe that is why.

It is not my first Technium, but the other one was very small (for me).

My new Heat is in nice shape, but the Technium Instinct under the Velobase link was absolutely mint. I will be rebuilding the Heat with my own specs. Probably DX/XT and bling boutique parts from the early nineties. I plan to replace the Pace with a RondWP Hydro Pro, as the elastomers in the Pace are too firm to my taste.
