hey there fellow and sister riders, I am shopping for a new ride and the one that I am looking at right now is a new Raleigh M800. Is there anyone that could give some info on this set of wheels**********?

You might want to check out the discussion in the Road forum, it seems that Raleigh isn't or doesn't command much respect. My suggestion is to do some surfing and do comparisions. I own a Raleigh myself and believe for the price paid it is an excellent value. (personal opinion) I think the biggest thing is to find a bike that YOUR comfortable with and not what some people feel you should ride.
