Cervelo Fork Recall Issued Today

[Sammajoor]

This really cracks me up.

 

Fondriest rules

 

[PPWTF]

 

Funny how manufacturers wanna give us the impression they are just that; "manufacturers"' date=' that the product is totally their work from drawing board, through manufacturing process, all the way to completed product rolling out the factory doors, yet when push comes to shove they're really nothing more than design houses, putting there name on product manufactured through outsourcing.... yet charging boutique prices. To make a comparison, it would be like Ferrari doing the design work and then contracting out the build work to fiat............! Makes me laugh. In all fairness it's industry wide, so this isn't an anti Cervelo rant

Got bad news for you, Boet. Fiat OWNS Ferrari.

Even worse news...FIAT owns them all!! Bar Bughatti I think!!

 

Fiat Group owns them..... but does not build them, not to say some minor electrical components don't end up doing the rounds of the group.. but you won't find  Ferrari or Maserati bits in a Fiat or Alfa (Ironically both the exotics have become better built and more reliable under Fiat ownership.....)

Lamborghini is ownedby the Volkswagen AG.

Bugatti is owned by Volkswagen AG.

 

The Porsche family owns the controling share in VAG, Hence if you buy a Golf, you actually own a Baby Porsche...now backto cycling.

 

 

Good on Cervelo to recall the forks. The Wolf fork wasnever that good anyway. When i test rode a Soloist fitted with it, I could feel the flex and itmade the handling weird. I thinktheir bikes will be better off without this fork.

 

however the recall notice seems to throw the all the dirty washing True Tempers way. That fork is not a std True Temper offering. That role is taken up by the AlphaQ range and those are superb forks. SoI think that Cervelo have just as much blame in thisas True Temper since Cervelo provided the design template or specification and qualification process to meet their std. CLearly their std's were not up to scratch with this fork.

 

I don't think True TEmper unlearned how to make a great fork overnight...

 

Poor Cervelo QC is the issue here, not True temper's

Funny you say that my ALFA's dashboard diplay icon lights (i.e. ASC & ESC) are the same as that of Ferrari
