Raleigh Capri Carbon 1 (2012)

The 2012 Raleigh Capri Carbon 1 is a mid-range women's road bike. The all-carbon frameset is available in a range of sizes, down to a very small 45cm, with a sloping and slightly shortened top tube. Bar and saddle are also women's-specific. Kit is top-notch, including an Avenir cockpit and Shimano's reliable Tiagra group, the latter providing precise braking control and quick, clean shifts. The light, tough alloy wheelset is paired with fast-rolling Vittoria slicks.
A good road bike.
