List of Road Bike Brands & Manufacturers

Choosing your new road bike can be a daunting business. For many, it's a large capital outlay and there are so many top bike manufacturers out there.

I compiled this list of road bike brands, manufacturers and suppliers with links to their websites as a quick guide if you're looking for someone specific. I've used UK URL's where possible.

I've divided it up by country of origin, then alphabetically by brand, so it should be pretty easy to find who you need. Surprising just how much choice there is out there (I've identified over 130 different companies). If you want something bespoke, check out the frame/bike builders.

  5. Hi Phil
    Like your blog - I'm new to the area and so I find it good motivation to get up to speed for the start of the season. First challenge is the Cheshire Cat in March.

    Do like my bikes aswell, so I thought I would list out a few others that I have come across myself.
    Cheers
    Rob
