[raleighrider21]

so ive kind of strayed away from raleighs and got myself this - £50
took it for a ride with a friend last night before some stuff happened that cut the ride short -
dog got attacked my another dog so had to rush back home

Bike looks good for £50

Sorry to hear about the dog

 

[raleighrider21]

it is good, apart from a really loud squeaky front brake its all good

the dogs got cuts and bite wounds all over but shes getting there, other dog was possibly an illegal breed and was a loose "guard dog" from a local shop, he just walked out the shop and attacked my dog, police wont do anything, dog wardens paying a visit later to check our dog then going to talk to the other dog owner, see what happens

For 50 notes cant go wrong.

just trying to get used to not slamming the brakes on and scraping my feet down the toad to stop and having so many gears is quite weird too.

i have the same bike, had it from new.

bit of a bargain at £50, to make them handle better i switched to a shorter stem, wider bars and some lighter forks.

stem and bars will get changed soon but forks are staying, deffinately a bargain at £50 could break it and sell all the bits for double what I paid, you had any issues with the rear mech hanger?
got told that they were rubbish quality and snap easily?

RR wont be posting anything for a while,
he`s not long got out of hospital after a accident on his bike this morning
road rash down the back of both of his legs and some cuts and bruising all over
bike is fine, not got much of a clue as to what happened yet as hes not talking much
all I know is what I was told by the police, he was riding down a main road center of the road with the flow of traffic slipped on something bike went sliding and so did he
