raleigh rm9?

[shakamara]

hi all, new to the forum and need a little advise on the raleigh rm9 full carbon, x9 rear, xt cranks and hubs,

juicy brakes, fox front, got a deal on a new one for R10k with trading in my current nomad40. Any feedback and reviews will be appreciated

Trade in your Nomad, plus R10k?... Not much of a deal mate.

Are you sure it is new? They stopped making these early in 2010 and were replaced by Nomads. However, if it is an old stock bike and is new, then R10 grand with those specs is a very good deal.

 

The only problem will be with resale. Raleigh doesn't exist in that form any more and very few people are buying high end 26ers (perhaps this is why it is so cheap)

For a full carbon frame with XT? It's a bloody good deal.

shot for the feedback guys, what i can see is that it is old stock to clear, hence the price, just not sure if it is worth going for a old stock bike and the trade of mine. what else is out there for prices between 10-15k that can compete?

Better deals to be had on 26" bikes at the moment.
