Only just remembered to take a look at your linke JohnnyB.
They look pretty nice actually. They look steeper angled than they are. 68 degree head angle on that Super D.
Interesting stuff. I've contacted the UK disto - www.shore-lines.co.uk.

fyi brooklyn machine works have never had a bike made in the far east. not saying they wont, just haven't yet!

would a turner made in the far east ride any different to one made in the usa?

Just found another - kind of a softtail, but the travel is decent:

And these guys - obviously a Canadian theme today...

That Xprezo Super-D isn't too badly priced. Frame is £1699 inc. delivery and custom paint options (13 colours available). But they are made to order, so there's a small wait.

The expreso 4x bike was reviewed in Dirt agais the foes fxr 4x*, looking at it its a silly ammount of money, you could buy an entire orange 5 frame and an entire steel hardtail for that they are chargeing for half of each!

*both good, but the foes won regardless of who was riding it. Its not all about the bike, but everyone knows red ones are faster!

The Foes was featured alongside the Gamjam in Singletrack, Dirt did a separate feature.
The Gamjam is £1549 for a frameset and the Foes 4X is £1779, the Orange Blood is £1579.99
The Gamjam comes in 13 colours including red to make you faster! 😛

All great bikes - Gamjam is handmade in Canada, Foes still made in USA as far as I know, Blood Taiwan I think

I don't know specifically about the Blood - it's not one of the folded models which are definitely all UK made. Anyone have definitive info?
