Standover? ( Okay, a better person could probably/possibly figure it out. I am not that person. )

Edit: shortest standover, if that wasn't obvious :eyeroll:

What a steal in steel! And you can run it 1x9 too.

[soupboy]

Nice. Costs less than the 29er MUni I'm looking at...

[manual63]

Nice, everything is measured in mm. That makes it easy to figure out. Time to get out the conversion charts.

Oh great, now I wont be the "only" fella pimpin the Raleigh's out on the trail! Spose Ill have to try something else now.

[bike>>rider]

I'd almost buy one just for the color: dirty red!

1" = 25.4 mm

Just type it in Google, Google figures it out. Try typing 25.4 mm to inches in the search box and you get Google Calc (http://www.google.com/search?q=25.4+mm+to+inches)'s answer. :) Gotta love Google.

You just need to embrace the metric system. It is a better system, although people are bastardizing it to be as bad as the english system. Besides, everything sound bigger when measured in mm.

I don't need things to sound bigger than they already are......:D

The ironic thing here is that its a Raleigh bike that is being reported in the metric system...

divide by 25.4

1 inch = 25.4 mm
10 inches = 254 mm

if you want, you can think of an inch being equal to a quarter, so if you have 4 inches (or 4 quarters) then you have 100 mm (or 100 cents).

I think even you can handle that ;)

Raleigh is originally English (aka the UK).

Just bring up dashboard on your Mac, and use the converter widget. :D

That's why it's ironic (http://www.answers.com/ironic&r=67).

screw the redline at this price. i was gonna buy the monocog 29er and then later get discs, but this has them for right around the same price.
