If they got that wrong what's the story with the rest of the geometry? Is that all correct? BB drop, fork rake and trail, head angle, seat angle must all be wrong if the fork blades are longer! Unless they factored for that. But is there anyone left at Raleigh who understands these things?
The proof of the pudding will be in the eating. Has anyone ridden one yet? How does it handle?

I know, there's a little collection of half decent Raleigh frames in my garage crying out for a nice shade of rouge, If only I'd got my backside in gear in the spring.The History Man":3l44krbc said:We could make a fortune looking at this lash up.
