Raleigh Technium 17" Mountain Bike Nonprofit

This Raleigh Technium is a wonder of engineering.  Its three main tubes are aluminum.  They're "thermally bonded" to steel lugs and stays.  Up front it also has a steel fork.  Such mixed material frames are a thing of the past, but this example is a survivor.  Built with mid-level components, this bike shifts and brakes as well today as it did when it was new.  If you'd like a neat old school mountain bike, think about making an offer for this Raleigh Technium. Shipping an old bike involves a lot of disassembly.  This may include but is not limited to: pedals removed, front wheel removed, saddle removed from seatpost, seatpost removed, brake cables unhooked from brakes, brakes removed, handlebar removed, stem loosened on handlebar, rear derailleur unhooked from chain and unscrewed from frame, brake lever extensions removed, fork removed. Any part removed is wrapped in foam.  Frame tubes are typically protected with foam noodles.  I put a lot of effort into prepping and packing.  This does mean that the buyer will have a lot of reassembly to do.  If you're handy with bikes, great, you'll have a fun job ahead of you.  But if not, you'll have to get someone or pay someone to put everything back together.  Just so you know, unhooked cables are sometimes difficult or impossible to rehook.  So, for every cable I unhook, I include a brand new cable just in case. We are a non-profit bike shop in Princeton, IL, USA.  Our goals start with providing the town of Princeton a local resource for inexpensive bicycle rescuing, repairing, recycling, and distribution.  We have the resources to refurbish and repair bikes to keep them on the road and recycle the materials in bikes that are no longer road worthy. The purchase of this bike and others like it fund our Pedal-it-Forward charitable program that gives bikes to those who need them. We have distributed bikes to children and youth of all ages in Africa, Latin America, Wisconsin, and throughout Illinois. Listing Policies: 1. All orders are insured!
