Nice find. In great condition too.

It looks great!
Though you shouldn't ride it!
My Experience with the Obsession (next model year) was this:
After half a year I had replaced the BB for a Campy. The Saddle for a Brooks. The Brakes for SS7 with 986ers. And the Shifters with XT Thumbies. Shortly after, the Mech was Exchanged for a DX Unit.
In the following years the BB was Changed for Mavic With Crank. Finally The Headset with a needle bearing one. Front wheel got a blue Tune Mig with Mavic rim. All these changes where because of OEM Component failure... (or poor performance)
Ahh and Scott AT4
that I'm not so proud of...
All in all the frame held up nicely even under a clydesdale class rider.

Re: another Raleigh Obsession
I have one too! $10 at the thrift store. I use it every day - commute from work to the post office and back. It rides nice on the bumpy roads.

Re: 1990 raleigh obsession for sale
I am the original owner of this 1990 raleigh technium Obsession and looking to find it a good home at a fair price. Not as good shape as lowe1677 but decent. The handle bars are modified (not original). I will post pictures. It is a silver gray.
