How close could you get to an all English road bike?

I love their take on "contemporary"!

It's state of the art, don't you know! (posh accent used)

Even the Pashley roadbike has Shimano 105. Looks like the main problem building an English bike is a lack of gears!

Fixed with Royce track hubs?

What about regular gears for everyday road use?!! If there are none the thread is dead!

Well I wouldn't say that! I'm accepting that I won't be able to get absolutely everything English. Just keen to see what I can get.

Middleburn cranks, and a Hope Pro 2 rear hub with their integrated freehub/cassette. Pro 2s to run (Hope) disc/disc brakes depending upon handlebar type.
