UK designed

mlbaker

Hello, I am a product designer by trade and would like to get into design bike components.

Other than Hope and Exposure who else designs and makes stuff for bikes in the UK?

Any names would be greatly appreciated

DMR i think :?

M6TT F

Well my suggestion is a good set of off road lights (head and bar combo set) £200 or under, with good output and long burn time - you'll clean up

Chaz.Harding

M6TT F - I think he wants UK based companies!!

Er... right.

Curtis Bikes
BETD Components
Orange Bikes
Dialled Bikes
On-One Bikes
Planet-X Bikes
Pace Cycles
Middleburn Components
Burgtec Components
Edinburgh Bicycle Company
Argos Racing Cycles
Dave Hinde Bikes
Whyte Bikes

C'mon man, theres TONS more if you bothered your arse to look. That took me about 5 mins to do... I think you're just lazy, to be honest.

Just a few of them manufacture here.

Some make some parts, others build up here.

Add to the list Royce.

turpinr

a very few

guilliano

If we are talking UK design then also Ridgeback/Genesis, Kinesis (Thai company but Kinesis UK frames are designed in the UK for UK use)

Northwind

COTIC

paul.skibum

Aren't Charge UK too?

supersonic

Yes.

So are:

Carrera
Apollo
Townsend
British Eagle
Claud Butler
Saracen

nicklouse

are they really designed in the UK or do they just tick the box for frame A or B?

Most of the product design is done in Taiwan, just the base Ideas are done in the UK

supersonic

Exactly ;-)
