I like my '17 Stuntman a great deal. It's a unique bike.

One downside to most Raleighs (and many non-high end bikes these days): cheap, no-name hubs that need frequent tightening and crappy bottom brackets that fail quickly. A little cone-wrenching and a $30 XT BB solved both issues for me.

Also, regarding the comment above on "Asian factories": as I'm sure you know essentially every bike is "punched out" in Asia these days. Also, Raleigh uses brand-name tubing, for example the Stuntman is made out of 631.
