 The BIG RED ONE December 18, 2008
Thomas Robb (Bangor, Northern Ireland)
I have to agree with everything every other reviewer has said about this bike.
I ordered this Monday and it was delivered the next day, which is superb as I am in Northern Ireland, ergo it has to cross the pond.
The bike is big, beautiful and very red, but who cares?!
Other bikes at twice the price scared me with their lack of quality, plus the idea of purchasing a bike from some sullen teenager in Half*ords was a real turn off.
15 minutes built the bike and while doing so the quality of the components was obvious. This bike is a real steal.
Delighted with purchase so much that i know I will use it lots.
Well done Amazon!

having looked at many bikes in halfords and other shops for a similar price they are very poor quality, having read the other reviews on this bike i thought i would take the chance and go for a bike i have not seen as i thought i couldnt be worse than the ones i have and it is after all a raleigh.the standard delivery was realy quick and tracking it was easy, after opening it up and the bike is fantastic !!!! much better than it looks in the picture, and i must say it looks pretty dam good there,all parts are quality and put halfords bikes to shame, even ones double the price.although it does not come with an allen key to put it together, i would be grudged to complain. all in all this bike is fantastic and i dont think you could get a much better bike for 3 times the price.buy it and enjoy.

Exactly the same problems as the ladies version.
Despite the assembly guide promising "Allen key(s)" and "multi-spanner" there were no Allen keys included and the multi-spanner (a flat piece of metal with hexagonal holes puched in it) doesn't fit anything on the bike.
An Allen key was needed initially to completely detach the brake cable from the front brake so that the handlebars could be untangled from the frame before being fitted. The same key is then needed to fit the bars. A second key (different size) is needed to fit the saddle. A spanner is needed to fit the pedals as the provided "multi-spanner" doesn't have a hole of the correct size.
You'll also need a pump as the tyres are very soft.
The good news is that once assembled the bike is excellent.
Stop reading the reviews - buy it! December 5, 2008

My old bike called it a day and I needed a replacement PDQ - this is it. I paid extra for the next day delivery and it arrived, next day. Didn't take long to get it set up and my, what a smooth ride and easy gearshift.
I've lived off cheap bikes as an adult and not owned a Raleigh since my childhood. I've come to the conclusion that the cheap bikes from discount stores are not worth the agro - this is different class. It's very red, well built and a dream to ride. Buy one and enjoy.
