I think it's a bit out of date though. I have heard that it is now extremely hard to find any carbon frames at all that are made outside China and Taiwan, including Trek, Time and Colnago.

I also have a "hand made by Raleigh Special Products division" bike. It weighs almost as much as I do though.

Mine's an Enigma, titanium. Ordered it through Pearsons in Sutton. Best custom job I've had yet: any new bikes will be built using its spec 8)
