Kurt, you're right. Some take issue with reusing the Raleigh name, but you really can't look down at the bikes, bearing whatever name they bear. I sold an Olympian, and it was very nice for a slightly-above-bottom-end bike.

I do think the Tenax series of Schwinns was something special. I only just discovered them. I flipped a Prelude, and it was the hardest bike to part with. The buyer said we can have an open adoption and I can visit her whenever I want. She lives only four blocks from me.
