Good Points: Just a dead basic rock bottom well engineered not-pretending-to-be-anything-it-isn't off road bike
Bad Points: I wouldn't want to ride it more than a few miles on road and sometimes I think 'suspension and an aluminium frame would be nice' ...but you get what you pay for
General comments: I wanted a cheap mountain bike to take on holiday and I'd got about £100 to spend. Some hope. Lots available - mostly tacky imitations of the 'real thing'. Not this. The Raleigh Vegas has a strong steel frame. 18 very usable gears. Reliable brakes. That's it. No suspension. No frills. No style. Just a dead basic rock bottom well engineered not-pretending-to-be-anything-it-isn't off road bike. It's not going to get you up Ben Nevis and if you're into extreme go spend some real money. But for heath, woodland, bridlepath type of thing it does exactly what it says on the tin. With a bit of basic maintenance it'll still be going strong twenty years down the line. I wouldn't want to ride it more than a few miles on road and sometimes I think 'suspension and an aluminium frame would be nice' ...but you get what you pay for. I paid £110. Excellent!
