and was underwhelmed. It was no where near as nice ans the PRN-10 but not even as nice as the Marathon, which is quite a low-end Raleigh. I deffinately like the bar end shifters and the ride was nice. I couldn't stand the steel wheels (which bother me NOT on the 3-speed). The brakes sucked and the one of the wheels was so out of true that it "snick, snick, snicked" the whole ride. Worst of all though, on my bike with cottered cranks and French BB, there is a "click" that comes from the left hand crank or pedal just as it swings back up to the 12 O'Clock position. None of this rubbing and clanking is reproducable with me OFF the bike so I wounder what exactlv is flexing and how much to make all these problems. I'm bummed out. I wanted this bike to be my Winter Beater but now I either have to sink time and/or money into her and after that I'm not going to want "any thing to happen" to her. Boo.
