5.0 out of 5 stars
best cycle-company history thus far,
This review is from: Raleigh: Past and Presence of an Iconic Bicycle Brand (Hardcover)
Interest in bicycle history has grown considerably in recent years, and manufacturer monographs have now appeared in Italy, Austria, France, Germany and the US. Among them are scholarly emanations with the cover being the only picture provided. Others are mere coffee table books with sloppily researched texts. Hadland's Raleigh history comes up to our expectations completely. His immense research is told fluently in digestible paragraphs, and more than 600 photos and other illustrations are presented. Whoever has tried to collect a comparable mass of historical photos knows how much work of love and labour is represented by this book. As in his earlier books on Moultons and Sturmey-Archer hubs, Hadland provides a superior overview over the many diverse product lines at Raleigh. The human aspects of the company history are treated convincingly as well and never appear dull. This book is a true match to the unique role that Raleigh played in the cycling world.

CHAPTER AND VERSE ON RALEIGH,
By
This review is from: Raleigh: Past and Presence of an Iconic Bicycle Brand (Hardcover)
This is a superb work that must have taken many thousands of hours to research and document. It's wonderful as a reference work but also an entertaining read in its own right for those interested not just in bicycles but the social and industrial history of what was once one of the UK's greatest companies.Highly recommended.
