Most of the traditional British Builders who were mainly road but dabbling in MTB or ATB now and again were using 1'' throughout the 90's. People like Bob Jackson, Mercian etc.
There is a gentleman up my way with a circa 2010 Mercian fillet brazed mtb that runs a standard 1'' headset. Lovely looking machine, its almost a burnt copper candy colour.
Not really the sort of nineties hard machine your looking for but there are a few underrated British machines about.

That's interesting. Looks to be a bit too early though- And maybe a title on the large side. :cry:

Cheers jamie,

I'm going to make a concerted effort to find something suitable in the new year.

What's the worst that could happen at that price? Was tempted myself but head won out over the bargain it seems to be. Nice work!
