Raleigh Freeride RS

amazing great bike light good gears good for proper moutain biking had it 3 years not even a scratch

Bought about 3 years ago, within one year it had rusted slightly and i had to get it repaired. Two years on, I've got into mountain biking and am discovering it's pointlessly heavy, and the gear change can't cope with hills

I maybe just bought a friday night bike- but in the 2yrs i have owned this bike- i have had to spend more that £250 on parts and labour (it has had 2 new chains, new rear derailler, new rear casette, 2 crank shafts, pedals, front forks and crank are requiring replacing) this bike has not been used as a desperate off- roader- i have used it for riding through forest trails, and when i cannot take my road bike out! it is well maintained, cleaned and oiled on every use, and serviced yearly!)

i would not buy another one unfortunately!!
