It does annoy me that raleigh made some of the USA cycling team bikes though.

Why?

.. indeed why, just look at the flange on that !

they made better choppers than flanges.

Just cause I've always thought if them as the pinnacle of British bike brands. Dunno why probably cause my first bike was a Raleigh. Just an irrational pet hate.

@4candles, faire enough the rear flange is not great but I quite like the front one.
BTW I cross posted it from Dat' ass

Aren't American Raleigh and UK Raleigh different companies? I always thought they were?

Horrible photo but thought I might contribute.

You sir are one lucky muthafuka

I never knew

In 1982, rights to the Raleigh USA name were purchased by the Huffy Corporation. Under the terms of the agreement, Raleigh of England licensed Huffy to design and distribute Raleigh bicycles in the USA,[19] and Huffy was given instant access to a nationwide network of bike shops.

How else you think we ended up with this?

In the 1984 and 1988 Summer Olympics, United States athletes riding Serotta-built bicycles racing under the Huffy name won two gold, two silver, and one bronze medal. A technical development center housed in the Huffy Corporate Offices in Dayton, Ohio was formed to research and create next-generation carbon fiber road and time trial bicycles. It was led by Mike Melton and Steve Bishop, two legendary custom bicycle builders. Sponsorship of world class and professional cyclists was only partially effective, as famous teams and riders, such as Greg LeMond and the 7-Eleven team used the Huffy sponsorship for financial support while openly maligning the company and even using different bicycles for competition while sponsored by Huffy. The subsequent fallout in the cycling community was devastating to Huffy, but not surprising considering the nature of the athletes involved. Huffy spent $500,000 to be named the Official Bicycle of the 1996 World Cycling Championships, held in Colorado Springs, the only time the World Championships has been held in the United States.[11]
