Raleigh M40 DX Mountain Bike - Land Rovers Only

01001010 · 05-04-2005, 06:29 PM

Anyone have a Raleigh M40 DX? I figure since I'm all into the autos that come out of UK, might as well get a bike from the motherland. Hehe. Just want to know if it's lighter compared to the Haros, Schwinns and Treks. How well are the gear changes are, and how good those disc brakes are. I have a campin trip memorial weekend and we're hitting the expert-rated trails and i need a bike that can handle it. I have a schwinn now but I've out-grown it and the brakes on it are horrible. Thanks guys

same place as Robin Hood and yours truly...I dont know much about modern bikes but back in the day they were regarded as good quality bikes...I do know that Orlando PD use them for street patrols...but I cant verify if these are made in Blightey...
