I own a 1999 Raleigh R600 triple.
It was my primary road bike until last spring when my wife bought a new bike for me. So last summer I converted the Raleigh to a commuter.
I haven't had any problems with it and enjoy riding it. Mine has an aluminum frame. The top tube and down tube are larger than normal and teardrop shaped. It has all Shimano 105 components and it rides well.
I'd recommend it if you have a chance to pick one up at a good price. Are you looking at a used one, a leftover 2001, or new 2002? It's a great bike!! You get a lot of bang for your buck.
Here are a couple of pictures.
