2009 Raleigh

[Shebeen]

Hi' date='

 there are only 2 options for us: Keep Raleigh as the number one value for money brand in SA and stay away from super expensive carbon fullsuspension designs or sell the high end bikes under a different brand name. We obviously choose the value for money option and I think there's nothing wrong with it. Creating a high end brand is very difficult and takes a long time to built that image.

I've said this all along, until you get a noticeable shift in the two brand families, rally bashing will remain a popular sport.

 

Which reminds me, the only race i ever did on a Raleigh:

Argus 07. brand new bike

Pedal broke going into simonstown. got a replacement at smits. the bike was poke slow. ended up my slowest time ever, over double my quickest time and came 5th last in the group.

 

gave away the bike the next week. went back to my Sora equipped Giant with a triple and very happy right there thank you.

Should of trained harder.

[Wannabe]

Yeah, sounds a lot like there has not been a lot of training from your side. Even a "farm gate" will not double your time from your fastest to your slowest race time, were you in half a decent form

[Jan Begemann]

Your pedal broke and it's Raleigh's fault? Didn't know that Raleigh makes pedals, mine are from Shimano...

[tikki]

So does tikki work for ProBike. Says so on his profile.

[tikki]

Hey Jan

 

 

 

I think you owe me a beer this Raleigh 2009 forum was dead untill i started Raleigh bashing.....Now 20 pages later and over 5000 hits.....weres my beer?????

[Jan Begemann]

Raleigh bashing competition:

My first choice is still Tikki, nice pic and with a sense of humor.

No. 2 is Chunky. He seems to be the classic Raleigh basher. Just negative statements without any reason or sense. Unfortunately I support drug-free sport...

[javadude]

I don't mind Raleighs. I have nothing but awesome memories of my 1983 Raleigh Burner. Didn't keep it long before i had to upgrade to a lighter faster BMX, but it planted the seeds of my cycling passion.

Lunch @ 13h00 sounded better I will see if I can make a plan with my son and ask  the wife to fetch.

This is for Newby0007 and Speedi15:

Your Raleigh Emblem is a bit outdated. After a few years without the heron on our headtubes, the heron is now back. After about 100 years it needed a little aesthetic surgery...

Unfortunately until now I don't have better pics.
