Cool bike
Review by Coffee drinker
Overall Quality
I bought last years version in blue and it is sweet. It looks great rides great and best of all....it’s a steel frame bike! I don’t ride aluminum or carbon because they ride rough and aren’t built to last. Steel is the real deal and not too many companies sell them unfortunately. I’m hoping Raleigh makes a steel frame mountain bike soon. Hint hint.

Good Bang for the Buck!
Review by Steel Bike Warrior
Overall Quality
I bought this bike for endurance training, tri-training, touring, commuting, and for the steel. I am loving the hell out of it. The bike is pretty smooth and hearty. I can climb pretty well on it too. I do think I will swap out the Strada tires for a more reinforced puncture resitance tire soon., like a Gatorskin or Vittoria. The L.A. streets can get pretty clunky, and I got my first flat after two weeks. I am going ride some local Olympic Tri's on this bike for a year, or so. I hope to upgrade to a fancier Raleigh after I deserve it. I hope Raleigh continues the Heritage line. Bring the Steel!!

Fun to Ride
Review by Francisco
Overall Quality
40 Miles in and I really like this bike, It's fun to ride. It's a great bang for your buck bike. When comparing to Surly/Salsa/etc in terms of steel bike this is the way to go for STI shifting, decent components, and steel frame with plenty of braze ons for commuting/touring.
