Are Raleigh bicycles from Makro still a bad idea

[Neverfit]

Well can pick up this bad boy for R3500

Rather apt having a Microsoft sticker on there..... as with MS, this is more likely to crash and seize within the first 10 minutes than run as promised.

I did it this year.

Pictures or it didn't happen.

I’ve done 4x 947’s on a Dion special Raleigh... nothing wrong with the bike until it was stolen.

I bought a Makro MTB .... 

 

Took it back the next day !!  Hold the front tire between your knees, then turn the handles bars side to side ... gives a NEW meaning to "flex" !!!!

 

So for a full size bike, NO I wont do this again

 

 

Then again, the kids Titan is actually giving us good service ....

I see you a makro special and raise you a onedayonly special  (https://www.onedayonly.co.za/29-aluminium-mountain-bike.html)

The only good reason to own a Raleigh is if you are looking for a way to book yourself in at the local hospital...

I think that's a bit harsh. Raleigh road bikes range form beginner to really very good. I feel it's one of those bikes that if you haven't owned one somewhere along the line, you can't consider yourself a real cycling enthusiast. Therefore I cannot consider myself a real enthusiast

Really?

 

I've done an Argus and a 947 on my Raleigh... with plenty prep and it's still going strong....

 

 

(Ok. Must add it's proper old school 1957/8 Raleigh...)

I am on the lookout for one though, but quite a specific one.
