LOOKING GOOD
Interbike is over but the Raleigh sightings are still popping up all over.Â
Momentum Magazine had a Urban Fashion show that featured good looking models and great looking accessories.Â
While I won’t say that the Superbe Roadster stole the show…wait…yes I will.Â
Meanwhile…back at the Raleigh Booth another bike was stealing the show. While not a production bike the Raleigh Rainier snapped more necks and was being blinded by photographer flashes all day long.Â
While this bike was originally going to be used by a couple NW Cyclocross teams demand became such that we are going to do a one time very limited run of the frameset. You can see what people are saying about it here, here, here, here, here, and even here.
 Fun stuff.Â
Thanks to the fine folks over at Cyclelicious were on hand to document all of this. More of their photos can be found here.

Where do I sign up (deposit) for the Ranier SingleCross?

You need to get to your local Raleigh dealer right now and place an order with them. These bikes are extremely limited and once they’re gone…they’re gone.

As we can only sell through authorized Raleigh Dealers, your best best is to use our ‘dealer finder’ and try and work something out with them. Good luck.

Can off road wheels be put on a Raleigh C-200 bike?
Brian | November 4, 2008 10:17 am
Randy…the C200 has wheels that are the size of a road bike on it, and most off road wheels are 26″. You might be able to put a 29er wheel on it…but you need to check spacing, make sure it has a rim brake surface, etc. Your best bet is to go to your nearest Raleigh dealer and talk to them about your options and what your intended use is for this bike.

I bet this thread is dead, but exactly how many Rainiers were fab’d?

“I’m not dead yet”
I’ll have to double check the actual total…but right around 130 frames should been seen getting dirty this fall.

I’ve heard 58, 65, 75 and now 130. I’ll take your word though. I love mine like crazy! We sell Raleigh and after I bought mine, I called our rep and by some odd chance yall had one left so I bought another just in case something bad happens to the first!
SERIOUSLY happy with the frame!
The RX1.0 is the same frameset, correct?
