I took it to the bike shop earlier. Initially he just tightened the quick release clamp and told me to go give it a ride to see if it was fixed. I'd done that about 100 times to date, but humored him anyway. The wheel hugged the frame again, and he said it might need a new clamp. He seems to think it's a clamp issue, and will potentially replace it with a new one. I'm not really sold on the fact that it is a clamp issue, but I'd like to be proven wrong.
In regards to potential bikes.. Raleigh seems to have a solid track record. I am not interested in a hybrid bike, as I love the road bikes and their ability to go fast on the narrow tires. I've ridden a mountain bike for most of my life, and after experiencing a road bike, I find them fantastic. I get a kick out of watching the UCI Pro Tour riders go over cobblestones, and this year's Gent-Wevelgem cobblestone section claimed quite a few riders, with one being thrown directly onto his face.
