British Manufactured Bikes

Are there any wholly manufactured (sub £2000) bikes.
That is containing only UK manufactured parts.
I suppose I will have to relent with regards to gearsets but I really want to reduce my purchasing of Chinese produced goods where at all possible.
Even Shimano have factories in China.
It may be an idea to have a discussion forum for UK manufactured bikes and bike related equipment and apparel. Assembled in the UK from overseas manufactured parts would not count.
Support UK manufacturing.

    You can get some lovely custom steel framesets still. And some nice hubs and bottom brackets and headsets. Brooks saddle. Oh seatpost too.

    Anything else ? I'm struggling.

    Do Carradice still make saddle bags?
  • wongataawongataa Posts: 1,001
    Do the raw materials for these parts have to be UK sourced as well?

    Yep carradice still do lots of bags in the UK and individually signed by the person who made it.
    Too many bikes according to Mrs O.

    Entirely British built and below £2k. No problem, just search eBay for an old British bike from the 50s with a Sturmey Archer 3 speed on it. You won't get suspension forks but I'm not sure why you'd want them on a road bike anyway.

    Ooh. Brompton.

    I should really have thought of that.
