Raleigh C500 bike review

Raleigh produced the C500 bike in 2005 and can be classified as a Hybrid bicycle.
Raleigh Hybrid C500 can be found in one single color which is Not found.
This bike is equiped with 700 x 35c Vittoria Randonneur tires and Stainless steel spoke wheel while the rims are manufactured by Alex ACE-18, 32-hole. Raleigh equiped this exact model with Tektro 845AL brakes, Tektro levers braking system and Front: Joytech aluminum QR, Rear: Shimano RM-40 hubs.
To guarantee the comfiest ride Raleigh used Atomic 13 R aluminum material for the frame. Aluminum high strength material is used on the handlebar of this C500 to ensure the perfect handling while the stems are made of Aluminum adjustable.
For the smoothest biking experience TruVativ Touro A1, 30/42/52 teeth is used on this bicycle linked to SRAM PC-950 chain that is easily replaceable as stated by Raleigh, the whole system is connected to a high reliability Shimano R440 gear shift levers.
