New (2006) Raleigh questions
That doesn't mean I'm gong to ask 2006 questions, I just have a few about a new 2006 Raleigh.
Does anyone know who makes the Retroglide series for Raleigh? Just wondering about the quality of the bike. Might be getting a green Retroglide with coaster brake (skids!!!!) in a few months as a birthday gift. I still have to finish off a Schwinn Continental that's getting converted into a cruiser, thanks to Everest's parts that he shipped to me for the conversion, but I thought a neat coaster brake bike would be fun. Saw a green and cream 2006 Retroglide at the local Raleigh dealer and it looked smashing. Anyone have any info??
Thanks in advance.

Um, is this a practical joke? You do know you're in the Classic & Vintage forum, right? Unless you're in marketing, 2006 model anything doesn't really cut it as classic or vintage in 2006.
You want skidding and coaster brakes, I'd say go check out Fixed/SS or maybe Alternative Bikes, maybe even Mechanics. Coaster brakes aren't automatically vintage by virtue of them being coaster brakes, I don't think...
