Its a very long thread to trawl through, so if it helps, I'll break it down to components.

Nothing above, apart from the real Brooks saddle, isn't a bargain basement Chinese part. Even the frame is of relatively low tech, and heavy. Its barely worth £500.oo, much less close to £800.oo. British parts? That would only be the saddle, bar-tape, and the Chinese produced chainset, which are made for a formerly UK company, Sturmey Archer.
