I tried, as I think most proper Pace owners sort of do (intentionally or not).
Pace frame, forks and stem
USE seat post, bars, bar ends
Hope stem stackers and hed doctor, hubs
Middleburn cranks and chain rings

Then if you argue that large swathes of France is british but for a minor historical technicality you can have:
Mavic rims
Time Atac pedals
I've also got french cables - can't remember the brand

The colonnies are still prospering thanks to hundreds of years of British Imperialism so...
Raceface BB (Canada)

Then its best to gloss over front and rear mechs, V brakes and sti levers (all Shimano - Hungarian made rather than japanese?)

Tryes - panaracers
Grips - Onza porcipaws
Saddle - Flite, my bum is flite shaped so it's a 'no' to a Rolls or USE saddle

Sturmey Archer do an eight speed hub. Not sure if they are still British though...

Weren't there tyres created for the British climate and conditions? Could be a compromise, I seem to remember a few tests BITD which suggested tyres were designed for the British market.
