Raleigh will never die, There are thousands spread around the world and in peoples sheds just waiting to be restored. The company however kept missing the boat, ie small wheeled adult bikes, BMX and then MTB,s and got left behind. Still plenty of spare parts though.

I thought the Chopper was a bit silly at the time Kinda wish I had one now Wanted a Carlton but got a 5 speed Arena I rode the wheels off it even attempted touring Still have a Gran Tour that someone gave me Mostly ride Dawes nowadays

was there such a bike as raleigh robin hood?

Back in the day I had a Raleigh Budgie and the Grifter. Around 2005 I had a Matrix reverb which proudly stated it was part of Raleigh heritage. In the last couple of years I've seen MTB helmets and accessories with the Raleigh name & I've bought a Raleigh dropper post.

My Granddad worked there and was very happy.

No mention of Tube Industries (TI) which owned Raleigh for years

I have a 1983 Raleigh Sprint 1984 Raleigh Chloe A mid 80s Raleigh Mercury 1989 Raleigh pro race 1990 Raleigh Avalanche 1992 Raleigh Pioneer Prestige 1995 Raleigh Max 1995 Raleigh Cassis 1997 Raleigh Siren And a 2000s Raleigh Altere

Friend of mine swapped his Nukeproof Mega for a Yeti SB160 and he loves it. Nice looking bike. I ride an Orange so I don't see a need for all those extra bearings though 😂

Last month, my brother was public spiritedly performing a beach clear up at Rhossili, on the Gower. He turned up a cartridge from an Oerlikon gun, dated 1941. The manufacturers code showed it was made by Raleigh.

Chopper was a great looking bike but I preferred my grifter , it felt stronger and faster and was better for jumps and wheelies 🚲

Rayleigh doesn't exist anymore, it's now just a Dutch manufactured brand, the Dutch holding company having more recently been taken over by an American hedge fund.

Bob,s only new bike was a Raleigh Trent Tourist bought at Rattrey,s in Glasgow in 1963 !

Great video unless you skipped the RSW models from the 60's.

Raleigh have been around since sliced bread? It's actually been around 43 years before sliced bread was first sold 😅 love the video👍

A few years ago I got a book called 1001 classic bikes (or something similar), and it was amazing to see how many classic bikes Raleigh made, they certainly knew how to stick a few bits of plastic on a kids bike to make it cool, they made the Burner, Grifter, Chopper, bomber, Chipper - and loads more.

Here's the thing I can never understand about Raleigh and most British bicycles back then why in the world do they have 40 spoke rear wheels and 32 spoke front wheels unlike the American bicycles and most other bicycles and other countries use 36 spoke wheels that I cannot understand?

I was taken to Halfords to choose my birthday treat, and the BMX had literally just been released. Having older siblings, I was aware or Raleigh bikes, and so chose a blue Grifter. Of course, the BMX took off like wild fire, with all the kids eventually having one. Regretted my choice for years to come, with my slow old bike that weighed a ton, and was so not cool. My parents never upgraded me either - ever. But who's bitter about it? 😆

I just visited the Raleigh site, pathetic. It wasn't that long ago where they were still relevant.

I think you're off to a good start here, keep it up. And my understanding of the founding is that the wealthy gent had just returned from Hong Kong, where his health had been turned around through cycling and he wanted to make bikes available to all so he started production of Raleigh bikes after returning and buying a local bike-building shop. And the cycling world as the world would know it did begin with Raleigh, so a big thanks to all y-all for that. and O on the Chopper, cool bike, no question, but it was more Schwinn Krate, a show-off bike with a bouncy ride here in the States, than Schwinn Sting-Ray, the bike that could take such a pounding that it got kids racing each other in what would become BMX. Plus, well, a lot of us just had to do the Evel Knievel thing, too. 😀

They still are in Nottingham at Eastwood. Very small compared to previous premises..

I think my late Mother and Father both worked/met whilst working at the Raleigh bike factory in Nottingham,circa early 1940s ??..... Either there or Players.

The mid 90s mountain bikes killed Raleigh for me. The Raleigh Max was utter utter rubbish. Particularly the steel one. Then randomly they started making the RSP full suspension bikes that were legitimately quite good. Then just as randomly they didn't anymore.

I still usey Raleigh mountin bike I bought from halfords in the late 80 s. I love it its steel weights a ton but love takeing it out now again my comute bike is a Peugeot road bike. I was on the understanding g when Raleigh closed in Nottingham it moved to brum . All the best😊

Had a purple/white fade Raleigh mustang. Weighed about 40kg, had chrome rims and canti brakes, but as a 10 year old it was absolutely mint. My little brother had a red/yellow fade one. Was always deeply jealous of a buddy who had an Activator 2.

Terrible Bontrager Spin offs etc. That's Intuition!

Nice vid

This AI isn't cutting it dude. Try harder.

To bike filth.. more like boring AI filth.

Hi Sir. Are you looking for a professional TH-cam thumbnail designer? Let me know please Thanks

❤❤❤

Man flu? Come on 😂 Could do with something like this for the pump track with my kids. Modern long travel long wheelbase full suspension bikes are not well suited...🥵

Nice... I turned my old hardtail into a dirt jumper. 20 years old and still going strong with a new purpose

How much did you get paid to make this promo for the Big-T? I was in the bike biz in the mid-1980's. Trek was (is) a bully, threatening dealers who didn't do what they commanded with setting up another dealer down the street. There's nothing special about their bicycles, these days they're all made by GIANT anyway. The founder was a tough SOB while his son is just an SOB, ruining Greg LeMond's bike biz to kiss-up to BigTex. Marketing-marketing-marketing! They're good at that.

Trek? Colnago was first, than Giant.

Worst bike makers ever absolute rubbish!!!

You are creating amazing video content. I just watched the video,and your video quality is impressive. I am so impressed by your content. I was analyzing your Channel and noticed that you are struggling with video views and ranking. May I share some tips on how you can achieve your goals?

My first proper (and new) MTB was a 1998 Trek 7000 ZX with STX-RC/XT and Indy XC forks. It was a stunning metallic gold and I loved it. Used to love flicking through the catalogue and ogling the Y-series full suspension bikes, the OCLV 9.9 XC bike and anything that had a Judy or a Boxxer fork 😋

Gotta love this brand

Great work

whats the intro song?

I always lusted after a Kona while I was growing up. Somehow never managed to own one despite owning more or less everything else. They epitomised that fun, carefree (and brightly coloured) bro-dude surfer vibe that was everywhere in the 90s, like Animal watches. Always makes me a bit sad when these veteran brands get bought up by big conglomerates and they lose a bit of their identity.

Definitely a legend!

Id like to learn again i bent myself round a tree and broke few. My head would not me do it agian these people are legends

I still ride my Palmer snowboard

It’s insane because of the judges! Cam Zink will win again for sure!!

What about them nearly killing riders with their failing frames, then refusing to replace them or look into their catastrophic failures. This company is complete shit.

dont forget Josh Bender, Lance Canfield, Tyler "Super T" Klassen and the one and only Cedric Gracia. without them, theres no rampage today.

Is he still around? I"m guessing he would be in his 60's now.

Its getting to manicured. Go back to early Rampage. Bit of cleaning & thats it.

Can't wait for this years Rampage!
