BTW, you picture is of a Raleigh and not a Solis.

I know, I am comparing the raleigh to the pedalforce....

 

Just added Solis is pedalforce as well.

Paint job is deceiving though, looks like a different front fork though or do they all order their forks from other sources?

[KevinV]

Looks like a Scott fork to me.

[FlyingCheetah]

I'll take the Raleigh. Awsome....

[Wannabe]

My LBS has got a yellow one in stock. Been standing there for a while now. Think he overpriced it at first, got it down to just slightly below SRP.

 

Eish, why cant I win the Lotto, even a small one will work.

Out of intrest the pedalforce frame goes for $800

The Raleigh just looks so much better .

[Red Zone]

Doesnt look like the same frame to me, the seatpost / seatstay junction looks different. The seatstay / chainstay junction looks different. the raleigh has less curve in the seatstay. Headset junction also looks different. Seat layback may be slightly off as well.

Upon even closer inspection, I tend to agree. Look at the lugs under the top tube for the brake cables. Raleigh frame does not have it.

[Mudsimus]

Its 90% the same frame. They use several different moulds to make the frame. You can custom the frame the way you like.

[Eugene]

The Solis does not have that concave (or is it convex) top tube. I've never seen a Pedal Force before.

[Serendipity]

I agree with Foe Fighter. I was no good at spot the difference games but the difference I can spot. I won't say they arn't similar, they simply arn't identical.
