Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Raleigh Supercourse as training bike?

I currently ride a Trek carbon road frame with full Ultegra components. I really like the bike but I don't want to ride it in the rain. My local bike shop offered me a great deal on a Raleigh Supercourse which I would like to have as a training bike for the winter. I really don't want to put my Trek through the tortures of wet riding.

Anyway, I'm wondering if anyone has experience with this bike and what they think of it.

I sold a few of these when I worked at a Raleigh shop. Decent frame, 105 components. Top end of Raleigh's aluminum road bike frames.

Doesn't matter much for a winter bike, but it's Tiagra 'cept the rear Derailleur.
