@beginningtoend, they're the best bikes I've ever ridden. Before I found this Raleigh I was riding a custom built single speed bike that weighed about 16lb. The single speed didn't get much ride time after I took a spin on the Raleigh. It's not a light bike (almost 40lbs) but so comfortable that you could ride all day once you get used to the weight. I took it on a 50 mile ride this Summer and could've easily gone another 50. I'll look or your poem! Thanks.
