I bought the 2010 clubman about 2 weeks ago. I love it. It looks great...the 2009 just looked weird with the wing handlebars and all the black bits...the shiny chrome works much better with this style of bike, and all the important parts gleam on the 2010.

I rode it in the Tour De Cure yesterday, and it performed flawlessly...fenders were useful since it rained to start, saddle was fine (after only about 200 miles it is already conforming to me nicely), and I was pleasantly surprised at how well the Tiagra shifters and rear derailleur worked: smooth, quiet and fast. Overall, the only complaint is that they don't ship to the LBS with an uncut steerer which means you have to play with stem angles and length to get the fit just right. It rides nicely, compliant but responsive. I think its a well balanced frame for everyday riding. Raleigh got this one right...
