Humber bicycles were founded in 1868, were taken over by Raleigh in
1932, the original parent was the same as the car manufacturer. I
think the distinctive Humber twin tube fork was maintained to
differentiate the brands. I'm not sure of the time span of the twin
tube fork or when the Humber name was retired by Raleigh.
