My Norta is pretty awesome. Belt driven and pretty much no-maintenance besides brake pads. Though the balance is off that makes the front wheel oscillate wildly by itself if you let go of the handlebars.

Careful of their lists. Raleigh started in the UK but has no manufacturing plants there (as far as I can tell) and is owned by Accell Group BV, which is based in Netherlands. Still Europe but not sure you can trust these countries of origin

Ah, sad to hear. Would you know of another list?

Afraid not, was just flicking through and saw Raleigh in the UK section, which I know a lot about as lived in the area of Nottingham it was once in. They offshored all their factories to cheaper Asian countries many years ago leaving just a small presence in the UK to sell and unpack the bikes. I can see only 130 UK staff (68 sales, 62 admin) so can't imagine they build anything here.

When I get some time I'll go through the list, at least the UK ones which I can find information about much more easily (our company data is open to all - not many countries have this)
