Jan Begemann Posted July 25, 2008 Posted July 25, 2008 I see that there are some people around here in this country who obviously don't like Raleigh. Or shall I better say they hate Raleigh?I also see different reasons. Some think a local brand can never be as good as an international brand, some others are just jealous of Raleigh's success, some don't like the designs, and some others (but just very few) had a bad experience with a Raleigh bike. There a few more reasons, but at the end bashing Raleigh seems to be some kind of national sport here. I must say I can actually laugh about it. And that's why I would like to start a competition here:Who is the biggest Raleigh basher on The Hub? Who does really hate us? Kick our arses, say the worst things you can about Raleigh!We'll read everything, and the Probike team (Robbie, Big Al, Brandon and I) will decide about who is the biggest Raleigh basher on The Hub.The winner will get a new Raleigh MR LTD frameset as soon as it is available (around October '08), but there's a rub in it: Who ever wins the frame must ride it for 1 year! And maybe Raleigh is not as bad as he always thought .This competition is not a joke, I want to see bad things, and the worst of you will get a frameset! Jan
Red Zone Posted July 25, 2008 Posted July 25, 2008 Jan Bad, Idea, I already ride a Raleigh and am perfectly happy with it, now I would realy love a new Raleigh MR LTD frameset and may be willing to stoop to some pretty low levels, this places me in something of a quandry, bash a great brand to get a new ride. Sorry, wont do it, give the bike to Chunky or one of his mates, they could use the love. P.S there are some people who just hate success, they have their own issus to deal with.
Conti Posted July 25, 2008 Posted July 25, 2008 i'm not a raleigh fan or basher , but are you sure you want hubbers to bad mouth raleigh for a prize?all the raleigh riders won't be too happy to read bad bullsh*t about their bikes. Conti2008-07-25 06:48:34

Jan[/quote'] Ok, I just went to my bike room and bashed my raleigh team in half - enough bashing for you
Shebeen Posted July 25, 2008 Posted July 25, 2008 as much as one of my favourite sports is Rally bashing, even i admit it is normally misguided and childish. (maybe i've matured, but most likely its Cheris?'s fault)It's hard to be proud of a brand that also has utter cr@p going for R500 at the hyperama. Until they do a Lexus/Toyota and split their ranges into different brands this'll never end. Who cares if Rally one the tour in 1980, I think it holds little prestige as a name. No amount of R&D or even design awards will fix it, it's a marketing problem.
Slowbee Posted July 25, 2008 Posted July 25, 2008 JanB start a thread with that competition, you will be suprised. Great R&D idea !!

Jan[/quote'] Jan Jan Jan nou speel julle wragtag nie fair nie!!!!!!!! Ek is seker die GROOTSE Raleigh verdedigerop die Hub. Vra maar vir Brandon en Albert hoeveel keer ek al julle maak verdedig het!!!!!! Ek is al uitgeskel as een van die laagstes op die aardbol net omdat ek baie van die oukies wat Spaghetti raam fietse met Parmesaan Groupsets en wiele probeer vertel dat hy stoepit was om so baie geld te spandeer terwyl hy 'n Raleigh vir goeie waarde kon koop....... en nou will julle gaan en 'n fiets weggee vir mense wat julle brand slegse!!!!!!!! Nee man mens maak nie so nie.
Thug Posted July 25, 2008 Posted July 25, 2008 Nothing wrong with a Raleigh at all, my RM7 morphed into a Santa Cruz Superlight and I'm under the impression that Mampara's RM4 did likewise. In fact I know of a Merida owned by someone on the Hub that is busy morphing into an RM7.
Conti Posted July 25, 2008 Posted July 25, 2008 bad publicity can sometimes be a good thing,but i think you are making a mistake jan
Jan Begemann Posted July 25, 2008 Posted July 25, 2008 Hey Big H, I am german, guess how good my afrikaans is... I would like to add 2 rules:1. The language must be english2. Please only bash Raleigh, not people working for Raleigh
Guest Big H Posted July 25, 2008 Posted July 25, 2008 Hey Big H' date=' I am german, guess how good my afrikaans is... I would like to add 2 rules:1. The language must be english2. Please only bash Raleigh, not people working for Raleigh [/quote'] Vra vir Albert om die posting te vertaal, being German is NOT an excuse!!!!!!!
