How sad is that though? I remember the first shop I worked in our two most basic bikes were Raleighs. Less money than even the most basic steel Trek. The first bike was a true entry level machine - ride with your kids in the neighbourhood. The next level was the same rigid steel frame but with double walled aluminum rims and a cassette hub - the basics for actual trail riding. Priorities.
