And the reporter mentions the Raleigh One Way. No mention of this bike on Raleigh's website, so I called Raleigh and spoke to a nice rep named Perry. According to him, the One Way is a brand new model, so new it's not on the website. It sounds like Raleigh is making their own version of the San Jose. The One Way will have:
Reynolds 525 frame Single speed Drop bar Rack and fender eyelets(fenders included) Chain guard 700x35 tires
The bike will be in their warehouse in two weeks, and should hit dealer showrooms soon after. Wow. I just posted about my desire for other makers to follow Bianchi's lead, and Raleigh already had it in the works. The One Way will be black, too. Only black. Should list for $600 or so.

Sounds good. Raleigh still makes a descent bike, in my opinion, but then again I own one, so I might be a bit biased.

I owned a Raleigh Wyoming touring bike as a teenager. It was lugged Raleigh 555 tubing, I believe. Very comfortable, very durable, and lasted me years of rough treatment. It even went offroad OK. Good bike, and I'm glad to see Raleigh is hopping on the "functional bike" bandwagon.

Wow. That sounds perfect for me once I move to my new place and start to have a real (>0.5 km) bike commute to school. Any word if the rear hub will be flip-flop? Will there be a fixed side? (I hate riding SS with broken bikes) \\paul -- Paul M. Hobson Georgia Institute of Technology ..:change the f to ph to reply:.

I didn't even think to ask about the flip/flop hub. Rear wheels are cheap on eBay though. :-)

Well One of the best comments I have gotten about my Raleigh was a lady outside the local x-mart (an employee) as I was locking up. She said "I used to have a Raleigh when I was a kid. I rode it all over the place. I though it was the best." Now I am not good a guessing age, but I figure she must have had one of the /classics/ that Raleigh is legendary for. I have a vision of a 3 speed of some sort.
