Lots of UK models, Dawes, Ridgeback, Hewitt, Edinburgh Cycles/Revolution, SJS Cycles/Thorn, Claud Butler.
You can also get tourable cyclo-cross models, esp modern ones with disc brakes.
Thank you for your information, I will take a look at them. Sorry I am not familiar with this, but by English style do you mean drop bars? For some reason, I am not really a big fan of the butterfly bars. I think I could still get UK brand here without too much trouble though (compare to getting US models).
