    Favorite Trail:RipHouse
    Duration Product Used:Less than 1 month
    Price Paid: $600.00
    Purchased At:High Sitting Cycles
    Strengths:None, it suckes so hard! I rode off a little drop, and then the cranks snapped off! What is up with that? Only people that cant drop, jump, or ride on skinny stuff, or do anything should ride this bike. IT is for people that ride on the road and dont do anything!
    Weaknesses:Everything, this whole hunk of SH*t is a weakness.
    Similar Products Used:Nothing is this bad, maybe a bike from the eighties?
    Bike Setup:Shimano Drivetrain, amoeba downhill bars, shimano stx-rc drivetrai, black 20inch frame, 2.1 tires, ourys.
    Bottom Line:This bike is so bad, that i want to kill it! The person that made it should die! Please, do not buy this bike! For the sake of everyone, it licks. A k-mart or sport mart bike would be better!

    Favorite Trail:Compton
    Duration Product Used:3 months
    Price Paid: $1000.00
    Purchased At:Roys
    Strengths:This bike has no strengths
    Weaknesses:Theis whole bike is weak, i rode off a small curb and my frame broke. All the components are really bad, and the bike should be burned.
    Similar Products Used:My sisters bike from Toys R' US
    Bike Setup:Oury grips, shimano A brakes, stx derailer, black frame, airline rims, shimano A cranks
    Bottom Line:This is a really bad bike, and if you buy it new, dont pay more than $400, if you buy it used, dont pay more than $100. This bike is a hunk of steel with wheels. I hate it so much, i gave it to a homeless person. Anyone who thinks it is good is not a good biker and should die!

    Submitted by Chevyboy a Cross-Country Rider from Victoria, BC
    Date Reviewed: November 29, 1999
    Favorite Trail:
    The Dump
    Duration Product Used:
    1 Year
    Strengths:
    Cheap!!
    Very nice looking frame (looks more expensive than really is)
    Built in Canada!!!!
    Weaknesses:
    Really crappy paint (it actually chipped when I flicked it with my nails)
    Raleigh has the worst customer service on this planet....
    Similar Products Used:
    Extreme MTX867 (bent the frame...also made by Raleigh)
    Ridden:
    Cannondales, Schwinn Homegrown XT, Univega Alpina 507, RMB Pipeline
    Bike Setup:
    '98 Raleigh Serengeti w/ Rock Shox Quadra 21s, Ritchey stem, KAlloy Uno bar, Kalloy stem, Alivio/Altus/STX components, Sun rims
    Bottom Line:It's a really great bike for the buck...(even though I got the frame for free, 'cuz of the other frame that I bent). Unfortunately, however, it took Raleigh 75 days to finally give me a frame...The frame was nice, I liked it, but most of the paint chipped off after about two months, and the frame started rusting amazingly fast. However, if you want a good low-end bike that you can bash around on trails, the Serengeti is a good bike to look at...it's durable, nice looking, and inexpensive.
