As far as I'm concerned, a Raleigh is only a proper one if it's frame was fabricated in Nottingham and the bike was assembled there. That means bikes built pre-2000, so in my book there are now no real Raleighs that are less than twenty years old. I happened to pick up one of the very last Nottingham-built ones as a parts donor, not realising at first how late it was in the production timeline. Once I'd had a look at the frame number and the penny dropped, I decided to keep in as a complete bike.
