ZeroPlay Posted January 23, 2008 Posted January 23, 2008 Avenue aluminium frames, built by Gary Koen in Cape Town, probably in the late 80's or early 90's. I think he only made a few prototypes before selling his frame-building equipment (to Peter Wheeler, I seem to remember).ZeroPlay2008-01-23 05:57:06
ORCA Posted January 23, 2008 Posted January 23, 2008 Peter Wheeler used to build Lotus and later on Victoria frames icycling could help us out with this one

bob_the_builder Posted January 23, 2008 Posted January 23, 2008 remember this one Was that before or after the famous "spiked" water bottle incident?
AndreZA Posted January 23, 2008 Posted January 23, 2008 remember this one I can still remember seeing those (only 1) during the TdF with the SA flag on the chain stay.
ORCA Posted January 23, 2008 Posted January 23, 2008 It was branded as ?the most aerodynamic? bike of it?s time
Cois Posted January 23, 2008 Posted January 23, 2008 Is dit nie die Lotus nie? Die aero CF fiets? Sorry. saw the post. I would love to ride on one of them. Will beat my Giant by far. But wasn't that a track bike in the times?Cois2008-01-23 06:46:18
Danger Dassie Posted January 23, 2008 Posted January 23, 2008 Yeah, think the US olympic track team used it..... they got bronze
HeyYou Posted November 25, 2015 Posted November 25, 2015 Resurrecting an old thread, but this is AWESOME. http://www.dutchmann.co.za/images/big_cycle.jpg
Drakogp Posted January 19, 2016 Posted January 19, 2016 Does anyone know what happened to John Freeman. I have an Exocet bike that was built by him.
BDF Posted January 19, 2016 Posted January 19, 2016 What about Strasse (1980's)? I think Dave Street (Ex Zimbo) was involved here. Also Alan - who made those?
HeyYou Posted June 3, 2016 Posted June 3, 2016 (edited) Been meaning to add WILLIE MARX onto this thread. Willie says he built a couple of hundred frames, after learning the art in Italy from Cino Cinelli, sometime in the 70s. My one (on the right) is probably early 90s, rode it for Eroica Brittania, with my son. Edited June 3, 2016 by HeyYou
