Yeah, late last year I was set to order from a famous UK maker of bespoke bicycles, but I had to cancel. Now the EU imposes duties based on the origin of all components that are sourced from outside the UK. Most high-quality steel bike frames are from Taiwan, the parts might be from Malaysia or the USA, etc. There is very little on a bicycle that was actually made in the UK, it was just assembled there. So, I too went with a German company.
