The thing I miss most on my Track bike is bottle mounts. The Cayne has them-the Raleigh doesn't...it's a solid bike despite what some say and yes, you can upgrade as needed or desired. I would stick with Ebay to keep things cheap, lots of cranks will work but I would stick with what's cheap and easy to find replacement stuff for. The stickers will last quite a while, now they ain't great looking but they should last a year or even two easily. The only bad thing I can say about the Cayne is the oddball seat post size...other than that there is NOTHING wrong with the bike. Most bikes today are Chinese made in the same plant and badged and marked up. You're going to pay for a name.
