Chrispy Posted February 21, 2008 Posted February 21, 2008 Referring to the comment Icycling on his EDGE Cant wait till I get my new bike - hopefully before the ACT. On the current frame it is unlikely I will be able to get my 18th sub 3 hour ACT. That frame has similar performance qualities of my old DHC ( commonly call daddies homemade crap) in the mid eighties! I should have realised that the frame was no good when I noticed the large run in the paint. Those frames come from the same supplier as the old Victoria Titanium came from in the 90ties and enough of the Victoria's broke. The supplier still has no quality control - that became quite obvious when the sent me a 2nd frame (replacement) and the lugs for the rear break cables were never fitted. What's the latest on the EDGE story? Are you still part of the deal or not?
GreyOwl Posted February 21, 2008 Posted February 21, 2008 Ok...first & foremost, who is the young lady in the blue top astride the GT?? I think I just found a reason to relocate to the Cape!!!

ShortLegs Posted February 21, 2008 Posted February 21, 2008 Secondly...Shortlegs I'd recognise that riding style anywhere bud!! Nice to see a familiar face in the threads!! Hehe, not one of my better rides round Killarney I'll admit . As soon as we started I seemed to be struggling in scratch and it just got progressively worse. What made it worse was that every time I looked at AL, he seemed to be breathing through his nose with a typical poker face (i.e. no pain/min effort). Eventually with about 10mins to go I managed to put myself into the wind and pull a classic Top Gun manoeuvre........ straight out the back. Hopefully the weekends racing goes a little better and next Wed I manage to ave less than 95% max HR for the hour Oh yes, David Garrett (spelling )ShortLegs2008-02-21 09:02:48

GreyOwl Posted February 22, 2008 Posted February 22, 2008 Hey Shortlegs! Nice to see you racing...I remember how it was near on impossible to get any slip behind you!! Top Gun manouvre!!! Thats funny...I tried a couple of those in my life!!
Cicada Posted February 25, 2008 Posted February 25, 2008 Do I smell something? Is this badmouthing or what?Give the guys at Edge a chance! The frames will be made in Taiwan (like most of the "genuine" carbon frames currently on the world market! I think it is such an exiting project, all the best to the Edge management! Another "six" for South African entrepeneuralship!!
