Fair enough, around 5kg heavier than Yours Truly. I do a fair bit of cross-training, but eat like a fat mofo. I actually prefer supporting British/local brands, especially the ones I like.

I'm just joking, I own lots of British shit Inlcuding some Hope parts (Stanton, Mason, Kinesis, Inbred, On-One, Condor), but I've no need to look past Shimano for groupset components for the most part. In some cases they don't provide what I want so I buy aftermarket but in the case of brakes - they have brakes that work just fine for everything I've done and I think I've done quite a variety of riding to know.
hippy
I'm normally 90-95kg and on road and gravel tyres traction is always more of an issue than braking power. Oh and I love seeing fish tortured and Brexit means Brexit so being forrun prefer to give my money to non-British companies. :)
