Raleigh M80

February 2nd, 2005 by Mike

My friend the UPS man delivered the Raleigh M80 today. And of course I couldn�t get the box open fast enough. I looked like a kid at Christmas. I�m at work right now so I have to sit and look at it for six more hours. That�s O.K. though it will be fun to tear up some trails with this bike. Here is what Raleigh says about the bike and some specs:

Atomic 13 SL Butted lighter weight Aluminum Frame with new X-Country geometry for better performance

Manitou Six Suspension Fork with Reverse Arch Laterally stiff fork, adjustable preload, and 80mm travel

It’s a realy nice bike! What a good price for it too. The parts are pretty good.
But out of curiosity, what made you go for the M80? I was thinking of getting my wife the Raleigh Ram 1.0 in the near future.

We have a 2004 Raleigh M60 at the shop that we are having a hard time getting rid of….so, if anyone is interested visit http://www.europacycle.com or call me (Jeff) at 319.277.0734

It’s a sweet mnt bike for a first time off road rager. Nothing fancy, just good durable parts (deore) at a rocking price.

My first real (modern)mountainbike was an m80. My son Jerry won several races on it the year before last but trashed a shifter last year and had to finish the season on the vagabond “spot”. Looks like it’s got some nice updates to the 99 model we have.

hey i got an 2004 M80 about for christmas and it rocks!!!! it is really light and quick. The fork sucks though. I only paid 450 bucks with the shrader valve conversion and trade in( stupid mongoose torque got me 60 bucks) i am looking to upgrade to a Manitou stance kingpin fork (175 mm travel!!!!) and 8 inch hayes disc brakes. If anyone is looking for an awesome trail and singletrack bike (maybe even a little downhilling) get a raliegh M80 its the best steal in the bike business.

I am selling a 22″ 2007 Model Raleigh M80 Atomic 13 that is in excellent condition. It has the Deore shifter and Deore LX Deraileurs. Probably has less than 200 miles on it. I am just not using it enough to warrant keeping. Paid $500 will sell for $300 flat.
Call (858)336-6594 to see
