Classic question - which bike (Giant or Raleigh)?

[Cranky]

I'm 6'3" with 35" inside leg and was advised that the XL would be fine for me.

All well and good, but I have a 38" inside leg. A 63cm frame is barely large enough, and that's with spacers added to raise the stem.

n/a means 'not available'. I expect no-one at 'Raleigh' (which is now merely an importer of 'Raleigh' branded product) ever opens any of the boxes let alone weighs any of the beggars.

Raleigh or Giant?

Giant every single time.

- whatever. (thanks for correction. Still implies lack of interest as you say. I would never ever buy without knowing the weight)

I'll retract the above - except for the lack of interest bit - they may intend to mean 'not available' but here is a quote from the actual Raleigh website specs for bike recommended to the OP:

Gender: Unisex Adult
Frame Material: AIRLite - Aluminium
Colour: Gloss Black
Weight: Not Applicable
Frame Size: 56cm
Gearset: 18speed Shimano Sora gears with EZ Fire shifters
Brakeset: Powerful Tektro caliper brakes​
