Tell me about it, I own a business that imports from the USA and sells in the UK, I also used to sell well into many customers in Europe, but they have cut me out now and buy direct, despite me being able to offer a better price.

I got that, I wasn’t aware of it being legislated for. What regs stipulate the positioning?
That describes my situation exactly, internal routing. It was too much faff to change it.

Part of BS6102, and BS6102 is mandatory for new bikes.

Small framebuilders are exempt, I think. They can certainly build you a frame with colossal toe overlap, if you can handle it.

It looks like the regs only apply to new bikes at point of sale and if someone preferred their brakes the other way round there's nothing to stop them switching them.
When this was discussed at road.cc the consensus seemed to be that the bike must comply with the regs to be allowed through customs. Rose seem to have changed from jit building to stocking built bikes, which possibly makes it uneconomical for them sell British brake configs, as they would either have to stock that config, or modify each UK bound order.
By comparison, the ROI regs are advisory, so Rose can still ship continental brake config bikes there.
