In my opinion - over the years, things evolve and grow and become more developed...
so - a range of bikes that were fooking sh1t back in the day, have evolved/grown into the worst looking retro pieces of arse Ive ever seen. I know it's a different company now, different peeps in charge etcet c- but there is NO EXCUSE for this level of utter barrel scraping cack.
Well done Raleigh on utterly killing any chance of ever being thought of fondly by anyone who isnt already a Burner nut.
