Accepting that many things are actually made in Asia ( eg Orange frame from Taiwan, Chines steel etc.) how much of a Brit mountain bike can be made.
Brooks are about the only ones I can think of.
For a mate who has set himself a challenge.!

Isn't the usual outcome of these threads that you can pretty much build a rigid single speed bike out of British parts.
IIRC it's the tyres that let it down. And if you want suspension or gears you've had it.
