Not made in the UK, are Oranges HT's still made over seas too?
I think he was basing it on who its made for "bikes being designed and specified in the UK, for the UK" no not where its made " whether the frames are manufactured here or abroad"
Yep the UK is a special place that is very different to the rest of the world 🙂 In modern times most frames will be suited to UK riding.
The other one to consider is Hand Made is no measure of quality.
Dawes design and specc in the UK manufacturing in the far east
Muddy Fox
Plenty of road frames too - bob Jackson , Woodrups to name a few local Leeds lads

I thought this was a general UK brand thread, not necessarily manufactured here?
[quote=andeh ]I thought this was a general UK brand thread, not necessarily manufactured here?
does that mean you just need a head office/figure head somewhere?
Well the OP mentioned Kinesis, so that pretty much defines the thread imo.
I guess it means you should also include Pinnacle and maybe (haven't looked it up) the Edingurgh Bike Co-op brand Revolution.
For parts, it would therefore also include Choctopron - or at least the stuff he's designed himself as opposed to just rebranding.

Pinnacle designed in the uk
Stinky Bitz
😯 There's a thread on mumsnet that can help them out, I feel.
There's quite a lot of design in the UK but not so much manufacturing:
I have a Kinesis which says - "designed in the UK" and a Moda that says "Designed and built in the UK"
AFAIK - Whyte, Genesis, design here and manufacture overseas. Moda do most overseas and only some manufacturing here. Only Pashly remain as an entire design and manufacture brand in the UK. I would be happy to be corrected.

Brompton.
Plus all the traditional framebuilders...

Except the Orange hardtails, which last time I heard were all made in Taiwan.
Although obviously still fit in with the OP's desires.

I've absolutely no idea what they were thinking with that carbon road bike!
What's the name of those lads who make bamboo framed bikes?
IIRC they are Brits?
