Subject: [CR]A question about the top UK makes from yesteryear

On this list I've read a lot of very positive words spoken about classic uk (including Scotland) brands from years past, such as, Hetchins, Bates, Cooper, Flying Scot, Gilliot, Taylor.

I was wondering if any of the UK classics experts on the list, could tell us wether there were any smaller brands (less well known) that were considered as well made and riding as the bigger labels back in the 50's-70's?

Thanks,
