RSP I believe had their base in Ilkeston in Derbyshire, not too far from where I live in Nottinghamshire. RSP's would be cool to see back, however, i wonder fi Raleigh have got thier ears to the ground to listen for what riders want apart from looking at the Front sus and commuter based bikes....Hell knows what they will think when I roll up on my take on one of thier bikes.....Eek

Top end bikes yes,bottom end bikes no the uk law could be flawwed like the canadian law i,e the frame can be built any where out side the uk/canda but so long as it's finished in the uk/canada i,e painted/sticker ed up it's classed as uk/canadian built.

Just starting to build up my old DHO again! I loved this old girl and couldn't sell it when i stopped riding downhill. I'm getting back into it so building her up again!!

I think this one is a bit unusual decals say RSP350 up front and DHO on the back. I believe it used to be ridden by Rob Jarman back in the day.

I'm not that hopeful for the longevity of the Pro Deluxe shock though Smile
