iv had my raleigh magnum road bike for a year now and i haven't had any problems apart from punches and i think this bike is a truly great bike.
i have refurbished my raleigh magnum and put new peddles, stem adaptor and stem, new iner tubes, tyres, brake pads, friction gearing ect and still improving.
the fork doesn't snap there is nothing wrong with that and its not like a gas pipe.
iv spend around £80 doing my bike up and still doing more.
im 14 and i adore my raleigh magnum and i think all you readers should get one.
