philip.maree Posted September 29, 2009 Posted September 29, 2009 That doesn't look like a handed me down, wash before you pass it on to the next guy, big 5 kit!
AndreZA Posted September 29, 2009 Posted September 29, 2009 What bike is he riding?? It's a Raleigh. The rest of the peloton proberbly laughed their socks off.
GTfan Posted September 29, 2009 Posted September 29, 2009 What bike is he riding?? It's a Raleigh. The rest of the peloton proberbly laughed their socks off. I rest my case, go Raleigh!!
Mudsimus Posted September 29, 2009 Posted September 29, 2009 Why would they laugh? Although only in name, Raliegh is one of only a very select group of brands that won the tdf.

Mudsimus Posted September 29, 2009 Posted September 29, 2009 I agree. But I still dont think they would laugh, that would be rude.
ASTANA Posted September 29, 2009 Posted September 29, 2009 a bike is a bike- last when I checked. Give the top teams Raleigh's and they would still win - not true ?

I bet you Cabinfish and Horshovd will break it in a sprint. ja they would probably "trap" the crank through the BB. haha. Winning is not sprinting - you have to be gentle with these - high cadance
JPW# Posted September 30, 2009 Posted September 30, 2009 Strange but true most pro races in this country were probably won by Raleighs , Malcom Lange won most of he;s races on a yellow one hehe. I think their just as fast as the fastest pinarello , even faster perhaps.
CAAD4 Posted September 30, 2009 Posted September 30, 2009 Man how did they see where they were going through those "high rise" cables or were they too busy looking down at the shifters on the down tubes?
GTfan Posted September 30, 2009 Posted September 30, 2009 Real cyclists like Laurent Fignon and Stephen Roche rode Raleigh back in the day..... Like this one I'm no roadie but I wouldn't mind keeping that as a collectors item
