Raleigh R300 bike review

Raleigh produced the R300 bike in 2001 and can be classified as a Touring bicycle, this exact model costs in american market arround $649.99.
R300 bike is available in many sizes such as Small , Medium , Large and Extra large .
Raleigh Touring R300 can be found in one single color which is Yakima Red.
This bike is equiped with 700 x 28c Michelin Axial Sport tires and Stainless steel spoke wheel while the rims are manufactured by Alex DM-18, 36-hole. Raleigh equiped this exact model with Avid Shorty 4 brakes, Shimano Sora STI Dual Control levers braking system and Aluminum QR hubs.
To guarantee the comfiest ride Raleigh used 7005 aluminum material for the frame. Aluminum drop bar high strength material is used on the handlebar of this R300 to ensure the perfect handling while the stems are made of Aluminum, adjustable.
For the smoothest biking experience Shimano Sora, 30/42/52 teeth is used on this bicycle linked to KMC IG-31 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.
