Of course - and they'll be a must have bike in 2055 with a name on the frame we'll not have heard of. My point is nobody alive in 2055 to remember Raleigh's heyday so why should the brand have any value then?
Raleigh losses.

- Start date
Up until 5 or 6 years ago Raleigh were investing in their successful wheel building business in Nottingham.

My point is that they are here now, so they are well placed to be here then. Legacy or not.

Old School Grand Master
Bikeworkshop ltd, in Bristol, was studied by Bristol University looking at businesses that aren't trying to grow - its unusual enough to warrant academic attention, apparently
If you grow you can reach into new opportunities as other areas come under threat - but its impossible to grow forever.
On the other hand, look at brand that have managed a century or more of growth and success, like Ford, tate&lyle, Panasonic
I'm sure there are a lot but it's hard to find one that haven't been taken over by a conglomerate.

Yes Raleigh produced a lot of wheels. Were they profitable? Doubtful……those machines are expensive to buy and factoring in the wages of the wheel assemblers
