Wannabe Posted December 9, 2014 Posted December 9, 2014 (edited) Anybody know anything about these frames?Know there was a guy in Goodwood who brought them in and branded them OTEC (On The Edge Cycles) but cannot get any more info on it. Got hold of one, Alu frame, quite light (not been on scale yet), beautifull smooth welds.Just not sure of quality / longevity of the frames. Edited December 22, 2014 by Wannabe

milky4130 Posted December 9, 2014 Posted December 9, 2014 Nice going Wannabe, now it's not going to be so easy to drop you anymore 0
Wannabe Posted December 9, 2014 Author Posted December 9, 2014 Nice going Wannabe, now it's not going to be so easy to drop you anymore 0 Doubt that a new bike is gonna change that. It's still the legs that does the talking (or is supposed too. )
Wannabe Posted December 9, 2014 Author Posted December 9, 2014 Found out some more about these frames. German / Swiss Company called Haibike.Sabine Spitz is one of the riders on their team. 7005,Hydroformed Alu frame.. JGR 1
Wannabe Posted December 22, 2014 Author Posted December 22, 2014 Still a bit of work to be completedNew Cables all the way round, matchmaker clamps for brakes/shifters/reverb control. Reverb cable routing to be done, Pressfit BB to be fitted, new chain and grips to be fitted. Setup to be done, and then it's RIDING TIME!!!!!
Wannabe Posted December 22, 2014 Author Posted December 22, 2014 Dunno how true it is, but was told that this is the same as the BULLS frames.
Wannabe Posted December 23, 2014 Author Posted December 23, 2014 (edited) And the final result. Decided not to go with the Reverb at first. Will probably fit it at a later stage.With the heavy elastomer fork it came in at 12.80kg. Definate room for improvement.

Guest Posted December 23, 2014 Posted December 23, 2014 Dunno how true it is, but was told that this is the same as the BULLS frames.Does look similar. On the Bulls frame however no welding can be seen. Wannabe 1
Guest Posted December 23, 2014 Posted December 23, 2014 Its an awesome bike to ride. When you can, upgrade that front fork and you will be a rocket. Enjoy Wannabe 1
