Hey all,
I'm looking to buy a road bike and one of the possibilities in my price range is the bike mentioned in the subject, which I can get for $879. At first glance this seems like a very nice bike -- the frame looks to be very nicely done, the components are a Shimano Tiagra & 105 mix and it has a carbon fork. Other bikes that I'm considering are the Trek 1200 and Giant OCR2. The Raleigh would be the most expensive of the ones I'm looking at, but I want to stretch as far as I can when I buy to get the best quality I can for my somewhat limited budget. I haven't ridden any of them yet and that's going to be the deciding factor when I buy, but I was curious about this Raleigh since I don't see them mentioned very often in conversation and roadbikereview doesn't have a review on it yet.
