It’s not often that I swoon for modern road bikes and I’m not sure this even belongs in that category. Somehow the 2011 Raleigh International slipped past my radar. This is the first I’m seeing of this bike and damn, that is perfection. Reynolds 853 tubing, chromed lugs, modern road group, the entire package is dialed to perfection. You could even (shudder) race that thing if you wanted to. All it needs are some Panaracer Paselas and some water bottle cages!
