After having my Raleigh viper stolen from my garage, i decided to claim on the insurance and get a new one. I went down to halfords and was looking around, the raleigh stonefly seemed to catch my eye with titanium frame, alloy wheels, V-brakes, front suspension, 21gears and generally a good looking mountain bike, when i got home i assembled it and then started riding it, i had been riding it for about 3 days when my pedal bent off.
This to my surprise was because Raleigh had made the pedal bars with a cheap, soft metal. So i took it back to Halfords and asked for a repair or replacement, which i got.
Few weeks later, riding down a hill, put on my brakes and suddenly the back wheel buckled, so once again went back and got a replacement.
2 days later, was riding again and the chain kept falling off on the front gears because it was ...

Advantages: Beautiful scenery, yet plenty of entertainment around Disadvantages: The 'Americanisms' that can be picked up!
My first taste of North Carolina was when I landed at Raleigh-Durham airport in August of 2004. We all think of an airport and we imagine something like Heathrow, or Gatwick - basically, absolutely ginormous!
Well it only took me 20 minutes to get through customs so that should give you an idea of my first impression of the city!
But Raleigh the airport is nothing compared to Raleigh the city. Raleigh is huge, with a hundred different places to shop, both inside and outside. Yet Raleigh isn't all about shopping and clubbing, Raliegh, and North Carolina as a whole, is full of National Parks, beauty spots, and conservation areas. I was staying a 15 minute walk from what the hotel described as the 'city center', yet there was a golf course on one side and a nature reserve behind me. I couldn't hear the city life going on unless I ...

Advantages: you look cool, its an icon of the 70's, Disadvantages: not practical, hurts your knees,
I bought a raleigh chopper on ebay in march 09, i was hugely satisfied with the deal i got, only used once, kept in a garage and still in pristene condition apart from a small amount of rust on the chrome. i bought it for only £80 when it was worth £300 when new,. I am a keen cyclist and it is impossible to hit high speeds on this bike, you feel super cool but it puts a lot of strain on the knees, the problem with the bike is it is so low, if you try to make the seat higher it still isnt high enough and you are still left with the same problem of hurting your knees. When i raised the seat, i had to raise the sissy bar but i raised it to the limit, someone pulled on the sissy bar and that bent a part of the framework and it it only minor damage but it isnt AS cool. The gear change is realy smooth and quick and the handling is sharp ...
