All contact points pedals, shoes, and saddle can be changed and altered for personal preference, performance, and comfort. Our experts inspect each bike and rate its components on a scale of These bicycles are good as new, often built right out of the box from the manufacturer.
Original stickers, parts, and accessories are included. The frame and wheels might have minor blemishes or scuffs from transportation or showroom display. Drivetrain, levers, cockpit, and suspension where applicable are in new condition. While these bikes have been ridden, they remain in excellent condition. Frame and wheels show slight signs of wear with only minor scuffs and scratches — no paint chipping.
The drivetrain shows light wear but the derailleurs, shifters, and levers have not sustained any damage. The cockpit has light wear, primarily on the grips or handlebar tape. Bikes with suspension components have minor scuffs and scratches on the fork legs and shock, and the stanchions are immaculate. To earn a rating in this range, bicycles have sustained some wear but no significant damage.
The drivetrain will have wear from normal usage and there will be slight scratches and scuffs on derailleurs, shifters, and levers. Cockpit, saddle, and suspension lowers where applicable will also have cosmetic scuffs and scratches. Bikes in this range are well-loved and have moderate wear. Aluminum, steel, and titanium frames may have minor dents.
Carbon frames may have been previously damaged, but have been professionally repaired and are structurally sound. Aluminum rims may have minor dents. The drivetrain has moderate to heavy wear. Handlebars, stem, derailleurs, and levers show moderate scuffing or scratches, and the saddle might have slight tears.
If the bike has suspension, those components will have scratches and scuffs. The stanchions may have small scratches. We do not sell bikes that we rate lower than 6 on the condition scale.

Yes, the system adds weight, but it shifts perfectly, every time, under load and in any weather. We have heard from racers who have accidentally unplugged one of the derailleurs in the heat of battle read: no more shifting until reconnected , but this never happened to us.
That said, you could certainly remove the levers in favor of a straight line of cable and housing from the shifters to the brake calipers.
We loved the shape and feel of the ENVE compact bar and its matching stem. The bars have a neat integrated end cap cone, and besides the unique look, the rubber cap stays in place better than a traditional plug during the inevitable cyclocross spill.
Plus, the compact bar allows you to maintain a similar body position with your hands on the hoods and in the drops. The carbon clincher Cole wheels should be lighter and wider at the rim. However, we do feel that the wheels should be lighter and wider for the price.
The bike sits higher than some thanks to its 55mm bottom bracket drop, which puts the BB about 1cm higher than on a bike with cm drop. In cyclocross, tires are everything. The Raleigh RXC Pro comes in five sizes, from 50 to 59cm, with our 57cm test machine weighing in at 8. The RXC Pro also has a chain stay-mounted rear caliper.
