Popped into my local Decathlon today to get some Velox bar tape and spotted a Raleigh Team Sprint on display. I have only ever seen their own brand stuff there before. Basic spec, but nice colour, has rack mounts and mudguard eyes at dropouts.

I wonder what's going on

The Raleigh is slightly different from the Triban road bikes because it has a pronounced slope to the top tube - good for short-legged riders like me who might have trouble with standover height.

Another thing I noticed about the Triban road bikes: they are made in Italy! Should have called them "Tribano" to confuse Italian bike snobs :laugh:

One thing I did notice, the Raleigh has gloss white painted rims - including the braking surface ! Can't help thinking it'd be scary in the wet :ohmy:
