''Alpine Tourist'' P.T.Stallard ''Zakopane''(Tour of Poland 1949) '' Malvern'' ''Clent'' ''Berwyn'' ''Cotswold'' '' and ''Monthlery'' Sheffield Langsett... ? Rotrax ''Vel D' Hiv'' ''Donington'' ''Shirley'' In the 1960's the ''Kingston'' Paris ''Galibier'' (2 for the price of 1) Raleigh ''Lenton'' Hobbs of Barbican ''Grasmere'' ''Ambleside'' Carlton built at Carlton near Worksop. ''Catalina'' ''Connaught'' Bates. ''Grangewood'' tandem ''Vendome''
