Urrghh....Not Raleigh. They have been around forever.

I didn’t even know Raleigh were still going. A quick Google shows they are now Big W type bikes.

We really need to have a talk gents Although Raleigh have also made some truly unforgettable dungers I guess.

Big fan of this one but the drops paired with an uppity stem won't be for everyone.

has some good things to say
Raleigh made bikes for everyone. Hence the 90's catchphrase 'Raleigh round the family'...

Wow! Haibike is pretty big in Europe in the Ebike market. Haven't seen much from Lapierre for quite some time though.

A mate of mine had the XC model about 10 years ago. It had fancy electronic suspension well before Fox and Rockshox came out with theirs. Although, it was quite unreliable.

Yeah mate had the 2014 Spicy with the same set up. Even came in Martini livery. Really cool, broke all the time (so pretty standard French fare).
Yeah this offering is kinda interesting:

Went to school with a Peter. French teacher kept calling him Pierre. One day he cracked it, "My name is Peter, stop calling me fucking Pierre!". So it stuck!

Likes Bikes and Dirt
My mate (through our shop) had the enduro and XC versions with the electronics. Fair to say he was always looking for a bike to ride

Lapierre used to be imported/distributed here by Advance Traders, but as far as I can tell haven't carried them for some years. A quick squizz at Lapierre's webbysite indicates they don't have a market presence outside Europe anymore.

I had one until I rode it into a tree. Bought it second hand off here. This was back in 2014 though. IIRC my LBS at the time might have stocked them around the same period.
