    Not going to use yer template, but current build when it gets here:
    Singular Swift frame
    Hope H/set, BB, seapost clamp, stem.
    Not sure On-one count most stuff made in Taiwan.
    Rest is foreign. Maybe a Charge saddle and grips... but I wouldn't mind betting they are made abroad.

    How many parts are actually made in the UK as oposed to being a UK brand?
    Only parts I can think of that are actually made in UK,would be parts like Middleburn,Hope or USE.

    Can`t think of any wheel rims,spokes,chains,cassettes,mechs or tyres.Forks would only count if you went for rigid ,since Pace were taken over by DT.

    Has it got to be brand new? :P Bet you could find loads of early 80s bikes.
