    Hi,

    So I’m in the market for some new cycling kit and a new bike (short sleeve jersey, bibs, hat, track bike from scratch, sourcing parts from brit companies – thinking dolan frame so far) and I (mostly for vacuous reasons) would like to buy British brands stuff, I’m well aware that despite being british they are often manufactured abroad so over to you road.cc forum members

    I’m aware of a few – rapha, condor, dolan, shuttvr, velobici etc but would like to know a few more…
    I’m dying to get my grubby mits on ragpicker’s kit but it seems to be taking them a while to release…

    Anyway, suggestions welcome

    I like shuttvr clothing –
    I like shuttvr clothing – good looking and very comfortable. A bit on the expensive side but they often have good offers on.

    if we’re talking hubs and bb’s then Royce needs a mention.

    just out of interest what are you vacuous reasons for wanting a brit brand? (I like to buy stuff made in UK but don’t really have any affection for a brand that just happens to be based here).

    Pashley and Brompton. Shutt
    Pashley and Brompton. Shutt VR and Lusso clothing, Carradice bags and Brooks saddles. Still some framebuilders – look at all these Bespoked Bristol articles here on road.cc.

    I like Howies. Although they manufacture stuff abroad they try hard to source ethically and reduce the environmental impact of their business. They hand print their organic t-shirts in Cardigan.

    There are lots of British bike brands – Genesis is one I like, Islabikes another. Boardman? Has the combined brains of CB + top engineer Dimitris Katsanis, among others.

    The rash of startup (mostly carbon-framed) bike brands are of no interest to me. There seems to be a new one every week, they all appear to be flogging the same kind of thing. Zzzzz….

    AFAIK Rapha is made in Italy
    AFAIK Rapha is made in Italy (or at least some of it) by one of the large cycling clothing manufacturers. Up to you if you want to spend that much…

    http://www.prendas.co.uk are essentially a reseller of SMS Santini kit (made in Italy, not the UK, but it’s very nice)

    Vo2 track frame I borrowed was pretty sweet.

    Otherwise your quintessential british track frame has got to be the PX.
