good evening, i need your knowledge to build an all-british-atb, so please help me!
i know these manufacturers, maybe you can fill the gaps and complete?

frame: pace, orange, saracen, raleigh, dave lloyd
fork: pace, shocktech
headset: hope
bottombracket: zero components ???
crankset: middleburn, l&m
pedals:
stem: pace, xlite
handlebar: pace renthal, xlite
seatpin: use, xlite
seat:
grips:
brakes:
hubs: hope, goldtec, middleburn
rims: halo ???

i have a rc 35 md which is from 1995, so the rest of the parts should be from around 1995 too!

derailleurs and shifter are sachs new success and the brakes magura hs, are there some british cantilever brakes?

when came xlite up on the market?

i hope this is of someones interest too, and sorry for my bad english!

Hope and Royce for bottom bracket,
X-Lite where early 90's
Brooks for the saddle

and the rest and other I cannot remember at the time, but we've got a few threads on it, I'm sure someone will remember it and the one with the scans when a magazine tried it BiTD

Loads of other UK frame builders out there.

It depends on how retro you want to go, how about Sturmey Archer drum brake hubs?

Orange hardtail frames - made in far east.
Other UK Frames - Pace, Big Foot/Ozone, Dawes, Roberts, Fuquay (UK based american)
Hope headset is a relative latecomer. Certainly later than 95.
British brake levers - X-Lite Chicken Stix which are lightened,reanodized, made-in-taiwan jobbies. Only proper british brake solution is Hope.
X-lite came around in about 91/2
Hope around the same time.
Zero BB is crap. Do not buy one. Hope also did one which compares well to Royce
Saddles - Brooks Swift Ti - if you are really hardcore in your quest.
Cassette Goldtec- Joint the queue.
Pedals - I run Look S2 and S3.Tyres, Michelin, Mechs - Sachs
Europe-made Headsets you could consider if period-correct is more important - Stronglight, Primax, Rond.

Basically if you want to do 95 all-UK spec take a look at this.... Similar spec to what you are looking at.

Made a few modifications since photos - ie Red hope skewers, Sachs chain, Red seatclamp, blue stem plug.
