I only found it on sites in the UK but I'm wondering if anyone else would like to see this in North America. I prefer the Strada 3 650b in their lineup even though I'd prefer only one 32T chainring at the front, aluminium forks and 35c tires.

The thinking is, I feel too tall on 700c bikes even at 5'8" and too short on 26" wheel bikes. I think 650b would be the ideal happy medium. I'm even thinking of selling two bikes just to get one 650b hybrid bike.

This looks like a nice bike. I think the North American equivalent is the Redux. It's a flat bar bike with 650b wheels and a 1x drivetrain.

Yeah, but I read the Strada gives you an aggressive riding position. I've tried relaxed and aggressive position and I'd rather go with more aggressive because you can save time when you're in a hurry. Besides, the Redux has larger tires which likely means it's been designed with large tires in mind. I'd prefer 35c.

The Strada 3 comes with 42mm tires. I imagine the frame clearance on this bike is very similar to the Redux.

Unfortunately, Raleigh do not give geometry charts on both websites, but the frames look nearly identical to me. You should be able to get into an sporty position on the Redux, and you could certainly fit 35mm tires if you wish.
