This is a great thread. I'm going to compare the Raleigh and the Schwinn to Cars. The Schwinn is more like a muscle car that has a great ride and can handle the rough/uneven roads. The Raleigh to me is more of a sports car--it has great handling and seems more nimble but if you get it on gravel/paved roads it doesn't do as well. JMHO

PS: I am in search of a nice 40-50's Raleigh Sport or Superbe so I can test out the ride of a more vintage bike. Stay tuned. : )
