Hi All,

Just been looking at bikes on a couple of websites and I like the look of the Raleigh SUB XS, anyone
have any comments or have it already?

Thanks

Looks good value for money. looks Ideal for a off the peg commuting/touring bike.

Try in shop before you buy and see if its right for you.

What's "body friendly geometry" and does that make you back ache after riding for more than an hour
solid ? Might do as a commuter, but I'm not so sure as a long-haul tourer. Too many of these "easy
ride" ideas are there to encourage lardarses onto the bike in the first place, but they don't work
so well on a long ride.

The racks, mudguards and sensible ratios are all a welcome sight. Saves a good few quid
fitting them too.

Anyone know what the fork is like ?
