Hey all,

does anyone have experience with the website promotive.com? it gives discounts for some bikes and parts. any experience you can share would be helpful.

assuming the website is cool and legit. i could get a Raleigh militis or revinio for a hefty amount off retail - i cant find much on google about either of these bikes other than the militis is more racing and revinion more comfort. can anyone share experience/ a review of them? raleigh's reputation seems kinda spotty if you ask me, but they could be making killer bikes now for all i know..

thanks!

One of my teammates rides a Revenio (the Ultegra model). He's been pretty happy with it. I considered buying a Militis (ended up with an S2). I've heard nothing but good about Raleigh's recent bikes.

Promotive.com is a very legit site. It give pro deal discounts for industry employees. Could be shop employees, reps, etc.

Both the Militis and Revenio are great bikes, but after owning and riding 2 Raleigh Team frames I'm looking toward a more endurance minded frame like the Revenio now..

I have looked at the promotive site before, but without being a member of a team you can't do much..

great.

just ordered the militis 2... impulse buyyyyyyy ha! hope it kicks butt. im currently on a 2001 jamis nova so it should be a BIT of an improvement

Swix, cliff shots are 15% off wholesale. I load up on these as well as z bars for my kids. It's a great site if your a member.

I have an alloy Revenio. Awesome bike. Am probably going to upgrade to a carbon one soon. Best bang for the buck in my opinion.

Sweet... Please post some shots if you would...

IT HAS ARRIVED! 34mi test ride went really well, only quirks were me getting used to double tap. big note to anyone who buys this though, the promotive site (and another i saw) list the militis 2 as having a SRAM red front and rear derailer with the rest being force. this is NOT true, the raleigh site is obv correct and i figured when purchasing that red would be a nice bonus but it didnt make sense so i didnt bank on it. not sure i would notice a difference regardless.
some assembly required
ready to go!

and yes, those pedals are getting replaced waiting for shipment of some nice look's.

thanks for the info again, bike came less than a week from order date.

thats one good looking bike. Raleigh has stepped up their game.
