That is quite possibly the finest "Get it out of the shed, ride it, then put it away without a care" bike I've seen in ages!

WANT!

Norco used to do one, was US market only though:

Been thinking of picking up a second hand one as I go over there pretty frequently

That Raleigh does look like a great bike!

The Raleigh US and UK performance road bikes look like they're the same, so you never know. Was very tempted to get one last year as Wiggle were discounting them heavily (I guess the brand does not have much cache over here any more!)

Or it would be were it not for the external bb.

Eccentric BB on that Raleigh. Wouldn't like to think how that will hold up to required belt-tension with a SS setup...

Really like that and would be great if Raleigh released it over here, must agree with the comments on the brake levers though they look ridiculously long and very far out from the bars you would need fingers like E.T. to pull those.
