UK Suppliers of high end/bespoke downhill MTBs ...

[Fab Foodie]

.... very very tall chap in our office wants to source a high-end bespoke-ish downhill long travel suspension MTB. If it was a road-bike I'd know the answers.
Who should he be looking at?

Freeborn can help relieve him of lots of money.

Stif and Leisure lakes are good for that sort of thing.

S-Works Demo 8 frameset is a good place to start. It is a pretty high end frame set

He could spec it as he likes then

How far can he travel to get it, and proper downhill as in competitive racing, or hard hitting enduro stuff?

My money is on All Mountain trail centre black run stuff.

And he owns an Audi or a Japanese 4WD.

There is a firm down in Canterbury where he can build his own, cant get more bespoke than that. http://www.downlandcycles.co.uk/frameBuilding.htm

Trek do a Project One for Mountain bike as as well I think.
