When speaking of Raleigh it causes lots of confusion when trying to seperate Raleighs we got in the States and what they continued to build in England. Honestly the bulk of what I know came from this: http://www.users.globalnet.co.uk/~hadland/raleigh.htm I'm assuming everybody's read that, but maybe not. It is curious how the TI takeover gets overlooked frequently while at the same time Raleigh gets blamed for killing off the English bike industry. I'm happy just to find Raleighs "Made in England" and don't worry about pre or post TI takeover. Though a pre-Raleigh Carlton wouldn't hurt my feelings.
