Raleigh Airlite 300

Alcedema

Hi, I've been looking around with a budget of about £500 for a road bike to compliment my GT Aggressor. Been looking at the Trek 1.2, Giant Defy 4, B'twin sport 3 etc but I came across Raleigh 300.

Does anyone have any experience with the latest Raleigh frames? It's full Tiagra, tektro brakes and an FSA chain set but I cannot find anywhere as much information on it as the Treks/Speshs/Giants etc.

Also if anyone has one, any idea why the image on their site for the 300 shows a black chainset and crank until you "Enlarge" the photo, then it shows silver sets and the paint job is different too.

Thanks!

WIggle. Variado Compact. £99 more. But sooo worth it.

Thanks, although I can get the Airlite 300 for £429 on ebay at the moment, which is very tempting.

If that's the 2009 model then you get Sora etc. Ok but not great.

If that's the 2010 model then that's an excellent price.

Hi, yes, it's the new 2010 version with all Tiagra

I've decided to go with your advice and buy the Focus Variado! Wiggle have been great so far.
