Talk:Raleigh Bicycle Company

Tube Industries corrected to Tube Investments (I worked for TI in the sixties). Cabinscooter

made in asia
Why does this article not mention that production has moved to Asia? Have the Raleigh bosses been at it? --Santahul (talk) 21:04, 13 February 2009 (UTC)

Production continues apace in Canada. Gforce1948 (talk) 21:57, 5 October 2009 (UTC)

Raleigh Chopper section - duplication
The section on the Raleigh Chopper simply duplicates the information available on the Raleigh Chopper page. I propose the paragraph is reduced to simply mention the success of the Chopper, and how it saved Raleigh's bacon. Anyone interested can easily click through.

Suggestion to merge Raleigh Burner in this article.
The Raleigh Burner, a product of the Raleigh Bicycle Company, can be described here under historic models (which now has a link to the Burner article). The Burner article will never be more than a stub, so it would fit perfectly here. --EdgeNavidad (talk) 08:01, 5 October 2009 (UTC)

Confused Page
The page seems to confuse the different Raleigh identities - maybe it should be split into Raleigh North America and Raleigh UK? For instance, the 2010 model section refers only to Raleigh USA. Terryhfs (talk) 21:38, 21 November 2009 (UTC)

Wording issue
Revised "manufacture and distribute" under the Raleigh USA section to "design and distribute." No Raleigh USA model was ever directly produced by existing Huffy manufacturing plants; all were produced for the Raleigh/Huffy management by subcontractors, as already noted. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.233.53.107 (talk) 07:38, 4 August 2010 (UTC)

Serial # starting with W after 1982
In the article under 4 Serial numbers -

QUOTE: "In 1982, when Worksop production was moved to Nottingham, the division continued to produce frames with the 'W' designation.[citation needed]"

If it's of any help - I own a 1984 Raleigh UK Corsa - bought new that year with serial # starting with WA40- - the 4 is for 1984 (since the model in the color I have was made only in 1984, and definitely not 1974)

Derby International Corporation
There seems to be some confusion in this thread with regard to the Derby companies. Ed Gottesman a US lawyer with a practice in London and Alan Finden-Crofts, a Guernsey-based former CEO of Dunlop Slazenger, who Gottesman hired as a partner and CEO, set up Derby International Corporation, based for tax purposes in Luxembourg, to acquire Raleigh Industries from TI Group in 1987. Derby Cycle Werke (Germany) was, since its acquisition by the Derby Group, always a subsidiary and was sold out of the Derby Group only in recent years. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.253.229.2 (talk) 19:59, 3 February 2015 (UTC)

Based in Nottingham
The article starts by saying that Raleigh is a manufacturer based in Nottingham, but despite going on to list the closure and sale of the Nottingham factory, no mention is made of what (if anything) makes the company "based in Nottingham". Can this please be cited or some detail added to the article to expand what "based in Nottingham" means, because there's no description of current company activities taking place there at all. 46.226.49.230 (talk) 17:40, 1 August 2017 (UTC)

Export models
I'm pretty sure that besides UK and US models Raleigh also had models for Continental Europe. I haven't found eg. Royale and its apparent successor Rialto from 1970s in any UK or US catalog even though they weren't uncommon in Scandinavia. Does anybody have more info? Harjasusi (talk) 14:25, 14 June 2018 (UTC)
