tikki Posted July 25, 2008 Posted July 25, 2008 Chunky if it was about the bike why did you have to resort to taking drugs? ? ChrisH' date=' It was about the bike, thats why I always rode a decent one. And I took drugs because I wanted to.[/quote'] Hey Chunky you r comments crack me up Im with you on this one.
racman Posted July 25, 2008 Posted July 25, 2008 ChrisH' date=' do you ride a raleigh because its the only thing you can afford?A friend of mine who rode for MTN Micrososft made me laugh He said the best day of the season was the day he gave that Raleigh back.[/quote'] Obviously never won any races or did anything special that season then, hey. (Maybe the best day of the season for MTN Microsoft was the day he left them)

racman Posted July 25, 2008 Posted July 25, 2008 Ok, so if you are to believed (and I have no reason except basic commonsense i.e. the most common way to refute nonsense, and logic to doubt you), DI said the BEST day of his season was the day he gave the Raleigh back, and it wasn't a joke but a genuine honest opinion...... Please!!! (No, I don't ride raleigh or Shimano. Never have and maybe never will but it's not because of the reasons the Raleigh or Shimano flamers say). But then again I find it difficult to engage in these flaming discussions as the protractors seem to mainly assume the following position...... racman2008-07-25 01:10:58
Sean Badenhorst Posted July 25, 2008 Posted July 25, 2008 Ooh, some things you shouldn't share! So Homo, just to remind you that during his career so far, Daryl has won three SA titles on Raleigh bikes. And last year he was the most prolific race winner in SA (14 wins) ? on Raleigh bikes. He hasn't exactly sparkled this year and, being a rookie on a Pro Continental team, assume his contract with the team formerly known as Barloworld is a two year contract, which gives him another year or so to secure a new contract. If he doesn't he may end up racing back on a South African team. I hope for his sake you maybe heard him wrong because there aren't a huge amount of pro team choices in SA. And the team on which he built his reputation as a top racer seems like it will be riding Raleighs for some time still... Daryl is one of my favourite pros because he's got very good manners, a sharp sense of humour and talent. Please tell us that you may have heard him wrong... Sean Badenhorst2008-07-25 01:41:52

AndreZA Posted July 25, 2008 Posted July 25, 2008 wow....the "2009 Trek" thread got just 8 replies.........I would happily ride the carbon raleigh HT.......Brandon? That is because it is not debatable that Treks are cr@p.

Dirty Twin Posted July 25, 2008 Posted July 25, 2008 Doesnt the RM LTD hard tail look alot like this to you guys? Can get them unbranded at a bargain Go check out Brighter Lights thread my new black(chinese) girlfriend. Sweet looking ride.
Sean Badenhorst Posted July 25, 2008 Posted July 25, 2008 Been there, but lost interest when I saw the bike only has one bottle cage. Pity as it looks like it had potential.
Sean Badenhorst Posted July 25, 2008 Posted July 25, 2008 And no brand name. Must be a bugger for the marketing dept.... (Unless I missed the name somewhere, didn't have the energy to read the whole thread).
Eugene Posted July 25, 2008 Posted July 25, 2008 Never liked Raleighs for one reason, their colour schemes. The 2009 range is awesome. They have finally provided a decent looking bike. Maybe, just maybe, I'll consider one when my insurance claim come through.
tikki Posted July 25, 2008 Posted July 25, 2008 I guess everyone copies design s these days? A bit like a P3??? Is my back flat???? tikki2008-07-25 04:57:23
