Classic British Bicycles (200 makers mapped!)

I stand corrected. CR was there all the time. But of course you have to look in the right place, which i didn't. I'm not very good at map reading.
I hope Andreas85 didn't lose any sleep over my mistake. It's not always easy being a minion

Also, sorry to be a pedant but Charles Ralph built his lovely Alves bikes in the village of Alves, east of Elgin (which is also a bit more inland from the Moray Firth).

West of Elgin

Anyone has a feedback about Lotus bike? Was it indeed the same Lotus Engineering for cars based in UK? Some US guy told me about Lotus bike from Japan/US and I got a bit confused...

Anyone can help about Lotus? Thanks

The Lotus of the early 1990s superbikes fame (ie the Mike Burrows designed 108 and the later 110) was related to the car company Lotus rather than the Japanese steel frame manufacturer Tsunoda Cycle Industries which used Lotus as a brand name.

Thank you very much for this confirmation!
