Raleigh RX 1.0?
 

I have a possible line on a Raleigh RX 1.0. Its pre-owned and not sure of the year. It has SRAM shifters. Anybody have one? Any insight?

I did a test ride on a '16 recently. The bike flies. For an aluminum frame, it felt really smooth, and even with what I'm sure were underinflated tires at the time, it was effortless riding, but tire clearances are limited. You'll see there isn't much gap in the chainstay, and you probably can't fit 40s, or maybe even 38s in there. I hate the SRAM shifters it comes with, though - I don't think the handfeel is very good and I find the shift method counterintuitive, as it requires more effort to shift back down versus Shimano STIs or any barends.

Do you know what color it is, and/or if it has an Easton fork? This should tell you what year it is. They changed the geometry (and fork spec) a bit in 13 or 14.

I have a 2011 rx1, which I love. Solid handling, stable at speed, relatively lightish, clearance for Nano's in the rear and a little bit more in the front. The geo is more on the aggressive side, but I like that for this bike.

Can't tell if it has an Easton fork. The bike is a purple like color. I don't run too big of a tire. I usually run a 32 cx tire.

I think that might be from the women's line, but if the bike fits and it's a good deal, I say go for it!

From the description, it is from the women's line. I am on the shorter size and the color scheme doesn't bother me so it all works out.

I have a 2007 RX 1.0 with the Easton EC 90 fork. I realize that it has some age on it, but it's still a great bike. I have raced CX on it, done gravel rides and races on it, and ridden lengthy road/multiple surface rides on it. It's light enough and smooth enough for anything. The only limitation on mine is the cantilever brakes. I would think a newer model would be an improvement on my stellar 2007, especially if it has disc brakes.
