We first spotted the Raleigh Militis Comp in July, at the Nottingham-brand’s house show, and have been eagerly awaiting its arrival at RCUK Towers ever since.

As the first of the UK media to receive the £1500 aluminium-framed race bike, we will be putting it through its paces in the weeks ahead.

Having championed aluminium frames as an alternative to budget carbon, we’re looking forward to seeing if this offering can match our faithful Kinesis Racelight TK3 test rig, or its senior sibling, the Athein.

Check out our gallery of Raleigh’s new contender, and read some of our early thoughts in our first look here.
