Among them: Raleigh, Flying Scot, Dunelt (all British), and a US company called Lewis, as well as numerous others over the years. These sources continue seeding a ready market for Bayliss-Wiley parts among the collector and restorer set, resulting in the marque's surprisingly high profile in the online auction world.

That is now easy feat! I especially enjoyed the info on the later years. I just read "The Story of the Raleigh Cycle," while retrofitting a 1973 Super Course for long distance cycling. The book was written by Sir Frank Bowden's great grandson, and published in 1975. It is definitely an item the vintage bicycle afficianado should have on the bookshelf or the coffee table. If you are restoring a Raleigh, or updating one as I did, reading this book makes the experience even richer. The Raleigh history you’ve provided here is comprehensive and a quick read.

Gitane subsequently found itself making bikes branded as Peugeots and even Raleighs for the domestic market. Eight years later a Swedish company bought both Cycleurope and Bianchi, and assigned Bianchi the continuing role of making race bicycles.
