Raleigh Grandsport bike review

Raleigh produced the Grandsport bike in 2005 and can be classified as a Road bicycle.
Raleigh Road Grandsport can be found in one single color which is Not found.
This bike is equiped with 700 x 25c Kenda K152 tires and Stainless steel spoke wheel while the rims are manufactured by Alex DA-16. Raleigh equiped this exact model with Tektro 423A brakes, Shimano Sora STI Dual Control levers braking system and Front: Shimano HB-2200, Rear: Shimano FH-2200 hubs.
To guarantee the comfiest ride Raleigh used Atomic 13 aluminum material for the frame. Aluminum high strength material is used on the handlebar of this Grandsport to ensure the perfect handling while the stems are made of Aluminum adjustable.
For the smoothest biking experience TruVativ Touro, 30/42/52 teeth is used on this bicycle linked to Shimano CN-HG50 chain that is easily replaceable as stated by Raleigh, the whole system is connected to a high reliability Shimano Sora STI Dual Control gear shift levers.
