I know this has been done before but whats available from British companies in full suss 120-150mm travel?>

Orange FS range
Whyte range

Any others im missing??

Thinking of trying to do as close as possible to an all British build next year, considering a Whyte 146 and Hope / Middleburn mix especially with the imminent Hope cassette and other "possible" components from them that have been hinted at.

Whyte aren't british, just british designed, you'd be looking at orange or there are a handfull of custom builders making a variety of 90's throwbacks.

OK - British designed would have been a better title - Whyte are as British as Orange surely? Orange is built in Taiwan no?

AFAIK the big bouncy Oranges are still UK built.

Pace; British - or rather Yarkshire - designed.

Are there any other mass produced in the UK full suss frames other than Orange?

If british designed, foreign made is allowed, then a +1 for a Cotic Hemlock, love mine to bits. The ST longtermer article wasn't so much a review as a declaration of love, and quite right too :mrgreen:
