Raleigh Matterhorn comments?
Looking for any reviews/comments/experience/whatever on Raleigh's Matterhorn
(2005?). Currently available for $220(cdn) so it's a little tempting. ....or current Raleigh's in general I guess. I'll assume quality from others transfers down the line to the Matterhorn too. Been thinking of getting back into mountain biking. I had a knee injury a few years ago that took all the fun out of it. Would be mostly for street and trail use. High speeds but probably wouldn't leave the ground. A little concerned about my weight on it though... anywhere between 250 and 300 pounds. Had a 98 Nishiki Colorado before the injury that lasted through everything I threw at it. Only problem was the stock crankset sucked... and the cheap plastic pedals got replaced in the first week for some really nice bmx pedals. Matterhorn specs are as follows... Frame O/S Hi-ten MTB tubing Fork LC151 suspension Headset CH-71 25.4 9 piece Chainset Vuelta YS101 w/guard 48/38/28 170mm Gears: Frt Shimano Tourney Rr Shimano TX30 Shifters Shimano Revo Shift Freewheel 14/28 7 spd Brakes Frt TX-115C linear pull Rr TX-115C linear pull Levers Alloy Black Hubs Frt 36h QR Rr 36h nutted Rims VP-20 36h alloy VP-20 36h alloy Tires Frt Kenda K-898 26 x 1.95 Rr Kenda K-898 26 x 1.95 Stem 100mm Black Bar 620 x 30mm semi-rise Grips Co-Union PVC Saddle Selle Royal Softfit Seat Post 25.8 X 250mm Black Pedals Wellgo w/Boron axle Colour Red/Black Sizes 22, 20, 18"M, 16, 14"M, 18.5"L 13" Boys Speeds 21 speed |
