Reviews
Below are some critical reviews about RALEIGH Detour Comfort Frame WhiteUnit came with the wrong front fork / wheel hub combination. Called Raleigh tech support. They said nothing they can do, just return it. Ugh!
wrong front fork / wheel hub combination.
The bike came without a seat assembly. It's a pain in the rear to repackage a bike for a return... Amazon gave this one option. No replacement parts.
Below are some positive reviews about RALEIGH Detour Comfort Frame White
We purchased this $300 Chinese-made Raleigh because it offered various frame sizes - important for a shorter rider - and I like the white/green color combo. Like all mail-order bikes, it needs assembly. The front wheel, saddle, handlebars and pedals go on easy; fitting and adjusting the brake cables is a little more complicated. Overall, the quality and weight appear good. Decent frame welds and paint job; nice 7-speed gears (single front crank) with twist control; brakes rims, saddle all OK. Be aware, you're going to need fenders (+ $30 on Amazon) and a rear rack or handlebar basket (+ $25) to make this a useful all-rounder. After buying the Raleigh, I found competitors for the same-or-less cost and they included all those extras. That explains the four stars.
Adore this bike! It is easy to assemble and easy to ride. Gears change smoothly and its the perfect fit, with a comfortable seat and good grip handlebars. I am 5'5 and I did lift up the seat a bit and handle bars, they adjust easily. It does not come with a kick stand, but I need to accessorize with a bell and phone holder anyway.
I love this bike! I used it to get to work before I got my car. It's very reliable, easy to put together, and fun to ride. I love how simple the gears are. I have had it for about five months so far and I haven't had any major issues. At one time my handlebar got kind of lose and they became crooked, but I think that was my fault for not putting them on tight enough. Highly recommend!
