What Raleigh means to the market today

Not what it did in Bowden's halcyon age, though things have been turned around since the dark days of the 2000, when Raleigh's parent company fell bankrupt. With the launch of Team Raleigh in 2010, Raleigh began a belated, but much-needed assault on the market for high-end road bikes. Similarly, classic designs such as the Clubman and the TI Raleigh Team Replica prove the current ownership understands the draw of the company's history, a quality that some of their predecessors missed. Raleigh still dominates the market for children's bikes in the UK, too, possibly because former owners of the Boxer, Grifter, Bomber et al are keen for their offspring to enjoy similar thrills.
