Anybody else have a Raleigh made in Canada? My 1977 Raleigh Grand Prix Serial # RH 704874 has a decal on the seat tube next to the bottom bracket that reads: MANUFACTURED IN CANADA BY RALEIGH INDUSTRIES OF CANADA UNDER LICENSE FROM RALEIGH INDUSTRIES LIMITED. I\u2019m curious to know more about where in Canada, during what time period, and why they were made there. I used to think they were all made in Nottingham, England. Guess I was wrong.
