Brooks is now owned by Fizik, an Italian company.

Endura. Scottish brand that makes clothing. Nothing comes close for quality and pricr

When I see anything "made in Britain" it always reminds me of Moss and the fire extinguisher.

During the last years I have used the UK stores and brands quite much for our family's cycling products (Genesis, Calibre, Brooks, Pinnacle and Chain Reaction Cycles, Merlin, Wiggle, Evans). With Brexit the cost and hassle of importing to EU from UK went up a lot though, so I need to find other stores.

Do Exposure source the LED’s in the UK? I’d have thought they would be Cree LED’s?

Brooks? I’m pretty sure I read that they are not exporting direct to the UK from their Italian manufacturing base atm due to UK VAT requirements 🤷🏻‍♂️

I now have a Brooks Cambium on all my bikes, absolutely love them. Best saddle I’ve had after 55+ years of riding.

Trykit/Booker hand built/machined trike axles and handbuilt frames, the best quality racing/touring trikes ever

Mercian. Pashley. Moulton. Brompton. Bickerton. Dawes. Terry Dolan. Raleigh. Thorn ( St John's Street ).

[LJD]

I bought a Dolan recently, decent bike!

[solitaryrefinement]

If it's not "Made in Britain", sorry, it's not British.

[ntulosers]

But Brooks is now owned by Selle Royal which is the parent company of Fizik.

[playandteach]

Can I ask which of the frames featured have been ridden by cycling weekly staff. I don't mind so much that kit shown here is manufactured in part elsewhere but I do mind if terms like comfort and feel are just taken out of catalogues rather than personal experience.

[glennoc]

Made in GB from local materials or imported materials? That's hard to determine
