Country: | England | Primary Focus: | Hubs / Shifters |
Years of Operation: | 1919 - 1959 |
A company primarly focused on the production of bicycle components, hubs in particular. They were forward thinkers of the time, producing some of the first "cassette" hubs as early as the late 1930's and sold it through the mid 50's. This, still 3 decades before SunTour or Shimano attempted to poplarize the same concept. The company also produced freewheels to round out its drive train product line. |
Company formed in 1919 after several mergers and re-formations of British manufacturing concerns. Absorbed by Renold Chain Co. in 1959. See Ebyker 11/3/2007 for a more detailed history. |
