Where were your bikes made?

[mickle]

It dawned on me recently that my bike's countries of origin are many and varied.

Where were yours made?

Edit: Owners of French bikes need not participate.

Or Irish.

My Dawes was made in the UK.

No option for France? My Peugeot feels left out.

Agreed poll is **** Where is the French option, another Peugeot owner here

The bike (Ribble aluminium frame) was put together in the UK, I doubt many, if any, parts used are made here though.

Nottingham, Derby, Leicester, Coventry, Birmingham and two from St Ettiene in that France. I could give you full address if you like

You can't do France Hilldodger

Maybe there should also be a In My Shed option for some of this parish.

So I'm the only one so far with a German made bike (I've actually two but one is in bits at the moment)

I also own two French made bikes and two Irish made bikes but I can't vote for them

Worksop and Warwick but with Japanese components. Although, Worksop, road bike has a Brookes saddle.

Bits - Japan / Taiwan / China / UK? Who knows!
Assembled - In my garage

Considering that last week we were invading the French Embassy and assinating the Ambassodor over the Kate Middleton pictures, leaving the French out of this poll seems eminently reasonable form of protest!

 

[mickle]

Yeah, what Cunobelin said.

So owners of superior quality cycles are being excluded.

Kitchen table and hall, no idea where the parts came from, England most likely

A British made Raleigh here. The frame and the assembly of the bike anyhow - it originally came with Dutch wheel rims, an Italian saddle, a Taiwanese luggage rack and much of the rest was from wherever Shimano made their stuff in 1997.

My knockabout bike sneakily says "Hawk Cycles, England" on the head tube badge giving the impression it's British made, but since I bought it boxed and did the final assembly myself I know that it was actually made in Thailand.

I nearly forgot my folder (Neobike) which also has nothing on the frame to say where it was made, but since the company offices are in Taiwan it probably comes from there.
