British Carbon

[tintin40]

Any British carbon makers out there?
Other than these people http://www.fibre-lyte.co.uk
Home of F1 and yet so few. Plenty in Europe.

Plenty, but you will find them trading as marine or aerospace companies.

Are you after British carbon bike makers, or just carbon in general?

All the best,

Bike parts.
I noticed when on line that all the carbon bike makers are from Europe. And yet UK is home of F1 so few carbon kit makers.

There are more profitable things to do with carbon fibre fabrication than make bikes and bottle cages. It's a grotty, low-end business compared to aerospace and F1. I suspect that's why.

Try contacting Mike McDermid at BML in Sheffield http://bicyclemanufacturing.co.uk/
More pics of his work etc at
bicyclemanufacturing on Instagram, Bicycle Manufacturing Ltd on Facebook,
He can be a bit grouchy sometimes, but is a great engineer working on his own now, but with decades of experience in high end metal and composite work including bikes.

All the best,
