Anyone going to the Pub?
A lot has been written about Raleigh Bikes on this forum. The Rush Hour and the Rush Hour Pro have been dissected at length. But noone's looked at this.
The Pub-bike: I think it looks the sh*t.
Personally I really like the look of the Raleigh USA range. I'm a 'steel is real' kinda-guy, but even so really like the Rush Hour Pro. I grew up in England and all my early bikes were Raleigh (my dad has brand loyalty issues), bombers, boxers and choppers. I'm glad they still make bikes that are relevant in my life - even if they're not universally popular.
Raleigh USA are doing much better stuff than Raleigh UK - shockingly bad.

It looks nice. If I was looking for a cruiser, I'd probably go with something from Felt.
