Paying homage to Raleigh's original steel steeds, the Clubman is an instant modern classic thanks to it's sharp looks and reliable performance as a do-all bike.

Butted Reynolds 520 steel frame and 4130 Cro-mo fork offer the legendary smooth handling and ride associated with steel
Shimano Tiagra STI levers, Tiagra compact crankset and derailleurs work seamlessly to provide reliable peformance through the 18 speeds
Tektro Dual Pivot caliper brakes provide controlled deceleration for easy speed management
Double-walled rims and grippy Vittoria Zaffiro tires ensure smooth-rolling performance through the miles
Brooks Swift leather saddle offers legendary comfort and performance; matching gel tape completes the already smooth style
No fancy shoes required—platform pedals with toe clips accommodate many casual shoes
Includes a Lezyne Pressure Drive S Pump as an added bonus
Specs are subject to change

After its initial break-in period you might notice your bicycle performing less responsively than the day you brought it home. Not to worry, this is typical of all new bicycles and simply reflects that cables have stretched or their housings have seated themselves into final position. To keep running at peak performance, all REI bicycles come with a FREE warranty tune-up, which should be accomplished between the first 100-200 miles of riding or after the first two months if you're accumulating miles less quickly. Contact your nearest REI bike shop for details and an appointment for this important service.

Comments about Raleigh Clubman Bike - 2009:

Don't get this if you want a serious touring bike like the Surly Long Haul Trucker or the Novara Randonee.

Do get this if you want a road bike that can double as a light touring and commuter bike.

There's realy not much wrong with this bike. It's fast, responsive. The Tiagra gearing shifts more smoothly than my slightly lower end Specialized Allez. The geometry is comfortable over a long ride. My topeak explorer rack mounted easily and I regularly carry 20 or 30 pounds in rear panniers. I ride (unloaded) through very steep hills in the Watchung Mountains in New Jersey and the lower gears handle the inclines well.

Cons?

It's a bit light for a touring bike and a bit heavy for a road bike. The handlebars make it a bit difficult to mount lights and handlebar bags. The tape is nice but the plugs for the handlebars fall off and get lost easily. If you want to ride heavily loaded on steep hills the lower gears (the bike is a double) might not be enough for you.

Comments about Raleigh Clubman Bike - 2009:

When I moved to the East coast I wanted a road bike that could pretty much do what ever I asked of it. Commuting, buying groceries, light touring, riding, and training. I spent a lot of time searching for a frame strong enough to be loaded down with panniers and still be quick and responsive without them. This bike has yet to let me down in the two years I have owned it. Not as zippy as an aluminum or carbon frame, but also the steel dampens a lot of impact from bumps in the road making for a smooth ride. The bike rides as good as it looks, and I get compliments on this bike every time I take it out. It's really a gem of a bike.

Comments about Raleigh Clubman Bike - 2009:

Smooth ride, fast, pretty light at around 24 lbs, comes with a Brooks swift chrome :), nice aesthetics, comfortable geometry for riding greater distances. My only complaint and it's not really a complaint but a matter of preference is I do not like the clips and pedals that came with it. Other than that it such a joy to ride.

Comments about Raleigh Clubman Bike - 2009:

Excellent bike. It is very responsive and the chromally frame is very comfortable yet not too flexible. Light enough to turn some good times yet durable enough for touring. Love the Brooks saddle. As good as some of the Italian bikes I owned in the '70's.

Comments about Raleigh Clubman Bike - 2009:

I can't find reviews for this bike anywhere! The Clubman looked so good I had to ride it. I fell in love with the classic Raleigh style. I was pleasantly surprised to find it was smooth, responsive, and quick. Forget anything you heard about steel being sluggish. It took off like NASA strapped rockets to it, and was smooth as silk climbing a moderate hill. People, if you have ridden this, write a review! To sum it up, it looks as good as it rides. This was Christmas on two wheels.
