RaptoBike lowracer (long)

[EdinburghFixed]

Although I'm looking to sell mine so that Challenge can supply David at Laid-Back-Bikes with a Chamsin SL (if such a thing can be made!), I still think the RaptoBike lowracer is an excellent ride. I wanted to write it up before it went, so if anyone's interested, there's a lengthy diatribe with photos  on my blog.



Hope that may be mildly interesting!

Sorry Bodger. I've updated the OP now though

I'm having lusty thoughts after reading that.

Selling it you say?

Aye, it's been nicely done up with a professional repaint (Racing Green), has new BB, headset etc.

I'll probably be doing it as a trade-in through David Gardiner at Laid Back Bikes though, and in fact it's in his showroom now - you could consider dropping him an email if you might be interested?

What an excellent review. I would have bought one based on that - I bought the fujin sl instead though. I really like that you have been able to significantly customise the setup to get the performance you want. The fujin suffers from being a bit deweighted vs strong, and having several miles of chain, while the Rapto looks very sturdily built.
7 hr 200 is pretty good isn't it?
