@bettytoo2 The ride is not that good. Ok for short flat distances but useless on hills or longer rides. Get a fold up Mountain bike or use a normal bike. Hope that help ya!

[bettytoo2]

@Topdoginuk . yeah l've got a mountan bike ,the foldup ones just for short distance and getting on the bus and train.l really enjoyed watching your video it so like being a kid again

@bettytoo2 The potability of the fold up bike helps carrying it but, be aware that this particular one is too heavy to carry.

Yeah, it was like being a kid again! When I got a bike as a kid, it was one of my most enjoyable experiences. I loved it. Thinking about it now fills me with joy and great memories. It was like getting wings!

Good luck with your cycling. Tony ;)

i took mine out today.. fantastic! light weight superb shimano gears,never used a twist shift, what a revolation! quite simply i think for the money this is 5x5 stars! i live in a very hilly countyside area and the gearing is spot on. i do plan on upgrading the sadle and seat post to a sprung post and nicer saddle. apart from them the bike spot on..well done raleigh and a great review from you!

to continue! the bike is almost all alluminium,apart from the handle bar stem and seat post. the mud guards and rear rack are steel though. the rack was an awful fit and both rack and m guards are held on with terrible mild steel screws..will rust in no time. i plan to replace all screws with stainless steel,they cost nxt to nothing about £2.00 for the whole lot! will use rack when i get round to reworking( bending )it a bit!.took bike out today..very very happy! the light weight and

just got mine yesterday from halfords penrith. orderd it boxed for me to assemble. this is the first new bike ive had for over 20 years! i still use the bike i got back then,a very heavy 80s mtb. was after something lighter and easy to store. so this fitted my poor budget and id just been given £20 halfords voucher. orderd on line and got if for £169.99 so £150 with my £20 off! when unboxing i still wasnt sure if id done the right thing. when assembled an everything set up right it looked good!

@hobo31009 I'm pleased to hear you have this bike. It's great if you need to fold it up and put it in the car when it's raining! It's not good for hills or long journeys but, otherwise it's a great little bike for the cost. Good luck with it.

[hobo31009]

hi! im about to buy one of these. what are your thoughts now youve had it a while please? great vid by the way.

[Topdoginuk]

@hobo31009 Unfortunately, I've not got round to using it! I've been too busy with work. I have still got it and the only time I used it was when I created the videos. I do intend to get back on with it or, I;ll just sell it! I was using Mixcraft 5 but, I was having problems with popping noise on playback. I right pain considering I bought a decent Samson mic. Anyway, I do recommend the KaosPro but, do remember, you don't have to use it as a 'live' instrument. Create loops and put in DAW. Easier!
