The BSA bicycle division, BSA Cycles Ltd., including the BSA cycle dealer network was sold to [[Raleigh (bicycle)|Raleigh]] in 1957.<ref name="Bowden Gregory Houston 1975">Bowden, Gregory Houston (1975). ''The Story of the Raleigh Cycle''. London: Allen. {{ISBN|0-491-01675-1}}</ref> Raleigh initially continued bicycle production in Birmingham at Coventry Road, Sheldon, Birmingham 26, into the early 1960s using up BSA parts but as time went on more stock Raleigh parts and fittings were used, some continuing to bear the 'piled arms' stamp. [[Tube Investments|TI Group]], owners of the [[British Cycle Corporation]], bought Raleigh in 1960 thus gaining access to the BSA brand.  Bicycles bearing the BSA name are currently manufactured and distributed within India by [[TI Cycles of India]] but have no direct connection to the original Birmingham BSA company.

In 1960, [[Daimler Company|Daimler]] was sold to [[Jaguar Cars|Jaguar]].

1961 was the centenary year of the BSA Group and, in recognition of this milestone, the company magazine produced an anniversary issue of ''BSA Group News'' in June called  ''BSA Centenary 1861–1961'', in which many of the achievements of the Group were celebrated. This year also saw the end of military rifle production; however, BSA still continued to make sporting guns.
