Hi all, just registered, thought I'd start a new topic...
Who are the new up 'n' coming homegrown companies to watch for 2011?
Bump
ukbikeskills.co.uk 🙂
Paper Bicycle looks cool!
Sneaky plug, jedi 🙄
www.luminouslights.co.uk
Moda Cycles - the MTB range is a bit ropey at the minute, but their road-bikes have been getting very goog reviews...

Do you mean manufacturers or suppliers?
There are two companies that import stuff that are still relatively small. Superstarcomponent and Discobrakes. I know very little about disco brakes other than I like the pads. Superstarcomponents are growing rapidly increasing the product range all the time. They had some initial bad press but they seem to be putting that behind them from what I've read on other forums. I've had some stuff and I'm impressed. Think my next set of wheels will be coming from them. It's not UK made though just bought in the far east and branded. It's the bling stuff at low prices that makes them popular.
I'd love to know about clothes manufacturers. I'm always pretty impressed by cycle-clothing.co.uk stuff given it cost far less than the competition. Would consider it low end though good enough for everyday riding but not my Sunday (club run) best.

Demon cycles are looking good.
jonb - either really. Just interested in what's round the corner.
rocketdog, just registered the domain - thanks 😉
[url= http://www.finisterreuk.com/ ]Finisterre[/url] look pretty interesting, if a litte pricey.
Mythic. Some of the most exciting and innovative frames around right now.
Jedi, tell us more!
Finisterre is nice stuff, ordered something else yesterday! They have occasional sales and special offers if you are on there mailing list.
I have also had excellent service from these guys over the last 18 months, again sale page is worth looking at and sometimes free shipping if you go via Road.cc:

Super nice bikes and Tom who builds them is an absolutely lovely bloke.
Not used this company but road.cc have reviewed there products well, sort of Rapha without the pricetag.

Torm - the stuff is a bit plain, sorry [i]classic[/i]. Nice retro look, but needs a bit of oomph in their range.
Affordable though, £50 for a LS wool jersey is alright.
The Torm stuff wouldn't look out of place on sale in Aldi 🙂
mmmm - that Demon Dirt frame looks luurverly
lol @ skid
Ive been really impressed with my TORM stuff - prompted me to write a quick review of it too.

Mythic. Some of the most exciting and innovative frames around right now.
Hardly up and coming though, I've got a 7 year old one hanging on my wall...

Not a bike company, but I have worked with a few.
2011 will hopefully be a big year for me!

Lee - you might need to play with CSS a bit more - you website just totally crashed IE7 for me 😥
Oh, so you're the IE visitor 😉
Yup, it's very flaky. Getting a complete overhaul as we speak!
