    Raleigh died decades ago. Over the last few decades, they were a brand name owned by a holding company, and used to sell dogshit-tier bicycle-shaped objects to marks who didn’t know any better.

      The place I used to work sold Raleigh bikes. It wasn’t unusual for them to come out the box with parts missing and we’d have to use our stock to replace the missing pedals, etc.

      The consensus was they’re crap now. Not as bad as Huffy though. Nothing beats Huffy for absolute crap tier.
