REV249RD (credit: road.cc)Raleigh Revenio comp: we have a winner!
Time's up! We had over 3,000 people sticking their names down for the chance to win a £700 Raleigh Revenio 2 sportive bike. We've plunged our digital hand into the electronic tumbler (after giving it a few turns, of course) and pulled out a virtual scrap of paper with the name of... what does that say...
Benjamin Snowden!
Congratulations to Ben, his new Raleigh will be winging its way up to Flintshire in due course. If you missed out then don't worry, there's lots of other stuff to win on road.cc. For a start, you can win a custom Charge saddle this week. And if you sign up for Fantasy Cycling there's a Garmin Edge 510 to be won in the Spring Classics competition. And there's more giveaways to come. Stay tuned!
----------
You can watch the Revenio 2 in action in the rather lovely video below in all its sporty redness. The bike comes with a pretty much full Shimano Sora 9-speed groupset, save for the SRAM chain (we like SRAM chains). Stopping is taken care of by Tektro R312 brakes and it's got some nice looking finishing kit too. There are five sizes between 49 and 59cm.

road.cc's founder and first editor, nowadays to be found riding a spreadsheet. Tony's journey in cycling media started in 1997 as production editor and then deputy editor of Total Bike, acting editor of Total Mountain Bike and then seven years as editor of Cycling Plus. He launched his first cycling website - the Cycling Plus Forum at the turn of the century. In 2006 he left C+ to head up the launch team for Bike Radar which he edited until 2008, when he co-launched the multi-award winning road.cc - finally handing on the reins in 2021 to Jack Sexty. His favourite ride is his ‘commute’ - which he does most days inc weekends and he’s been cycle-commuting since 1994. His favourite bikes are titanium and have disc brakes, though he'd like to own a carbon bike one day.
Nah, I've been to London Zoo, it's pretty much a free for all.
What you say about consumer rights or warranty may or may not be true, although as/if these bikes become popular that will doubtless change if UK...

I've used that hack more than once in my time, but using a stick rather than a rock, which has obviously drawbacks!

Wow, Coren is commending criminals for their violent robberies. That's quite a mental leap to be encouraging criminality.

He lost me in the video when he claimed that as you can raise your heel up to 30,000 times during a ride, the lighter weight will save you energy...
