2007 Raleigh Coasting in black forest green
I love this bike for several reasons:
- Raleigh has been the world’s largest bicycle manufacturer for many decades. They built this bike true to their traditional super comfortable upright riding position. NOTHING is more comfortable to ride.
- Modern steel frame of this bike is lighter than classic British “all steel” frames, yet it is painted in the same distinctive black forest green.
- This bike has an automatic drivetrain, or what they call it “automatic shifting-engineered Coasting group” developed by Shimano. That means this bike will automatically switch gears based on your speed. It is done by a dynamo-hub generated internal three speed hub. No greasy cassettes (all gears are hidden inside the hub), no derailleurs, no shifters, no problems.
- Coaster brake system doesn’t require brake levers. The bike has a simple classic silhouette without levers and shifters. steel
