Raleigh ®
From WikiPedalia
The Raleigh bicycle company of Nottingham, England, was, for many years the largest cycle factory in the world. Over the first two-thirds of the century, Raleigh absorbed most of the independent bicycle manufacturers in Britain.
Raleigh had its own standards for threading and other dimensions, which were different from standard British dimensions. In particular,Raleigh used 26 threads/inch rather than 24, for headsets and bottom brackets. More information on older Raleighs is available in my article on English 3-speeds, and my Raleigh Sports Page.
