As I said – its just for fun, I was turning it over in my mind, I thought it would be hard :). No-one has mentioned forks yet, are any made in the UK?
I was stuck on the rims, rear mech, shifters, cassette. Can do Hope for the pedals now, I think DMR stuff is all manufactured in Asia but as a second tier option at least it is a British company / brand. Any other thoughts?
FWIW An Orange Alpine would be spot on for the kind of riding I do, I like the look of the recent proto. I have not owned a set of Hope brakes for years having gone the boring but brilliant shimano route but I love the way they look.
