Very similar geometry, with the Tamland having a slightly longer chainstay and I'm assuming a longer wheelbase. To me it's strange that Raleigh would market this as a "race" bike, given to me it really seems a jack of all trades: commuting, light touring, cyclocross, gravel, road, light singletrack. Is there something I'm missing?Ken L.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13990668892542961498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12831567.post-62701352121967602262014-03-19T16:13:43.289-05:002014-03-19T16:13:43.289-05:00@Rannier Wolfcastle: Interesting proposition....

Yes- that is a concern, but thankfully Shimano already has a 46T matching 11 spd ring for this crank, which would give you a 46/36T combo, which I would prefer, (most likely), but I am going to give this a go first before making any switches.

Raleigh has finally switched to even sizing on all road models and made tweaks to sizing to bring their bikes more in line with other offerings in the industry. Last year I would have gotten a 57cm, and it would have been a wee bit small, but their 59cm was too stretched out for me.
