Whilst waiting for news of the new Pipedream range (which, incidentally, is like waiting for bloody christmas – only I've had more response from my letters to Santa. As it stands there's a good chance they're going to get passed over in favour of an 853 Sanderson) I've been mentally building up the rest of the spec.
Today I wondered about keeping it as British as poss, the frame is probably going to end up being British (ish) and wondered what else…
Hope wheels, brakes, bb, headset and qrs
Middleburn cranks
USE seatpost, stem and hopefully a non-carbon bar…
But what about the other stuff – forks seem to be a no go, as do gears but saddles, pedals, tires etc? I'd prefer made in the UK but designed here by a UK company would do… (Oh and nothing on-one either, I have a totally irrational and completely unfounded dislike of the company. Which is an arse cos I do like most of their kit.)
So if anyone can suggest an entirely Brit build I'd like to see it!
