That's a great shame, I hope the Dutch make something of it. I don't live in the UK anymore myself but it's always a shame when this happens. Raleigh needs (or needed...) someone like John Bloor to turn it around the way Bloor did with Triumph.

That second picture is disgraceful and un-necessary.












Some of those plants clearly haven't been watered for days.... :twisted: Is that your missus? Best you sell me your Zinn so that the poor lass can buy some clothes.... You lucky git.

No mate, she was a girl riding naked at the national naked bike ride in brighton, she loved the chopper....lol

I quite like the girl with the white boots though, i was born in the wrong era i reckon, gotta love the fashion back then.....!!!

Also notice Dave Lloyd, in the team Raleigh Picture....?

it would be nice if they do make a good go of it, there not quite that far from Nottingham as china

i like the Dutch and the way they do things as i have one of there quirky cars as well,

i noticed this morning that my Raleighs wheels are made in Holland, is it the same company?

also are they going to make the bikes in Holland as well or just carry on building them in china.
