The core of a bike is the frame, and that is where the small start-ups are happening - one man, a jig and a brazing torch. Of course nobody in their right mind would take on Tektro, Joy-Tech, Kalloy or Tien Hsin in their specialist areas, but it is possible to be a British frame builder, and we even still have a world class indigenous tube manufacturer, so you can be made in Britain from British feedstock.
