Any other Pashley bikes?

All Moultons (except Bridgestone Moultons) and all Pashleys are built in Britain. Even the Pashley Pickle. Useless trivia: It uses the same fork crown as early 1960's Moultons.

Brompton (after a period of outsourcing, they brought it back).

Only the Ti rear triangles and forks (and most components) are outsourced AFAIK.

I can remember going to Ribble Cycles in 1969 to get my first racer, it was a Carlton Continental, standard apart from alloy 'Nisi Evian' rims. Back then Ribble sold all sorts of stuff. I wonder when they moved into selling only their own bikes, they've been a remarkable success story. They're still have the same shop they started in in 1897, but I doubt they ever made their own frames.

Wrong! - Ribble used to make and paint their own frames in Kirkham, Lancs. This was also where the mail order operation and main warehouse used to operate from.
Additional historic note - Ribble also sold Peugeots in the 1980's.

Steve Goff Cycles & Frames
--- End quote ---
I got my frame built by Steve. Some of the best money I ever spent and when my partner gets a bit more experience, I'll order a frame for her there as well.
