Got several thousand miles on mine. Best Raleigh I've had, and I've owned a bunch. I worked a deal with the LBS to switch over parts to my old frame, then I bought SRAM Force and built it up. Weighs 16 pounds in a 59, with pedals and bottle cages. Raleigh learned a lot in their last three frame designs. This one has a really beefed up bottom bracket (very similar to an Orbea Orca) and a beefed up head tube. It rides and handles great and I have no real complaints other than the large diameter seat post which makes it harder to put lights on.....Otherwise it is very nice.
