Does anybody have experience with this bike in the '04 version: http://www.raleighusa.com/items.asp?deptid=5&itemid=237&va=0

The '05 reads well and has very good components. Just curious for your experience or thoughts concerning this rig.

Mark, I have an 03 Team although I bought it as a frame set from gvhbikes and built it up to my specifications. Very sweet frame. Where else could I have bought a Columbus Airplane tubed, Carve rear carbon seatstay frame for under $500. I love the ride although I haven't had it long and am still dialing it in, I'm waiting for a stem that will have my position on the bike just where I want it. The 03 and 04's are the same frame set. I did replace the Columbus Carve front fork with an Alpha Sub 3 since I feel that an all carbon fork rides better than a fork with carbon blades and an aluminum crown. Although I did ride the Carve fork and the ride was very good, the Sub 3 is excellent and dropped some weight. Considering the frame is the heart of any bicycle and the component spec on it is very good, if you like Shimano, if the price is right, I would go for it. The bike won't disapoint you.
