I've finally succeeded in replicating my first 3 mountain bikes (l-r). Pic isn't the greatest, but it's been snowing on and off all day. Not the best conditions for a photo shoot.

Finally located a Raleigh USA Technium Chill a couple of weeks ago. It was in a town about an hour and a half away, but a friend of mine lived a few minutes away, and after much nonsense from the seller (#$&% Kijiji people), he picked it up last weekend. Got it home during the week and got some garage time today to make it presentable. My first one was a 90. The one I picked up is a 91. Other than the anodizing on the main tubes it's the identical bike. Close enough.

Sweet, always loved those Techniums. They weren't that common over here.
 
I envy you. I don't think I would want to replace any of my first three bikes. If it weren't for the U-brake I might want to replace my old 80's Rocky Fusion. When ever I think of old bikes its always the ones that got away that I drool over.
