Raleigh road bike advice
Hello All, Why do I not see any Raleigh road bikes out there. I see many Cannondales, Treks, Specialized. I have an opportunity to get a really good priceon a Raleigh but a bit skeptical because I don't see any on the road. I am looking on the range of the Cannodale R5OO or R600 or Trek 1500. Is there a reason they are not out there. Any advice on the Raleigh brand would be greatly appreciated. |

Presently the Raleigh dealerships are owned by Diamondback so you can get a Raleigh through them. However, Diamonback dealers generally sell a lot of moutain bikes and so don't have a lot of road bike customers and so don't stock Raleighs. Raleighs are therefore unsually good deals in most of these dealerships. The bikes themselves are VERY good. The top three levels are all good bikes. I especially like the Raleigh Pro that's made of steel. |
