The future?

A bit of an irony given that Raleigh is founded in the UK, yet currently the Raleigh bike that they sell in the US is completely different and far better than the shitty UK one (much like the difference between the US Ford and the European Ford).

I wish they sell those here in the UK!

Raleigh went bankrupt and the name was bought by someone else (for some reason my brain says trek but I am not sure). That's why they are still "going" in a sense in the USA, but htey are not really if you know what I mean.
