THE BODY CENTRE Posted August 28, 2008 Author Posted August 28, 2008 Ronelle' date=' so where's the one of me pulling my tongue at you [/quote'] It probably landed in the recycle bin - so you will have to do a replay next time! What bike is this? Is Pearl a 'brand' or is this a custom paint job?
Zombie Posted August 28, 2008 Posted August 28, 2008 I think this is Peter Wheeler's own "brand" name. Not sure who makes the frame though...
Guest colonel Posted August 28, 2008 Posted August 28, 2008 Ronelle' date=' awesome photos so where's the one of me pulling my tongue at you [/quote'] NoNO that was your tongue hanging in the front wheel boet.....
Guest colonel Posted August 28, 2008 Posted August 28, 2008 I think this is Peter Wheeler's own "brand" name. Not sure who makes the frame though... Dude you need to get a chick or a blow up doll you know waaay to much about cycling.
THE BODY CENTRE Posted August 28, 2008 Author Posted August 28, 2008 I think this is Peter Wheeler's own "brand" name. Not sure who makes the frame though... no... last I saw Peter Wheeler rode an Edge, not sure what he was on last night, but its not him
Zombie Posted August 28, 2008 Posted August 28, 2008 Colonel - no, I just spend less time in bed feeling sick and I've always got an ear to the ground on what's happening in cycling around us. Ronelle, I think the Edge brand was taken over by Willie E's shop and whoever was the contact on that one. I actually know a bit more than what I'm saying here , but some of it might be a bit sensitive so let's leave it at that. Peter was showing off the Pearl brand at the Argus Expo. Colonel didnt see that cause he was looking at himself in the mirror and trying to find the "cocktail" stand
Guest colonel Posted August 28, 2008 Posted August 28, 2008 Ok ok ok I even know that WE is doing the Edge brand and is opening or has opend a shop in that smaller centre in TValley if my clse to the ground ear remembers!I also saw Peter's stand at the expo but to be very honest I didnt pay attention to the bikes he had there or what other bikes and products were at the expo to be honest cycling isnt that important to me and I have a blow up doll......colonel2008-08-28 06:38:50
Zombie Posted August 28, 2008 Posted August 28, 2008 Colonel, only 2 of your guys rode yesterday. What's up with that? Everyone got the flu? Fatty was looking much better than last week...with cyclocross tyres and all!
THE BODY CENTRE Posted August 28, 2008 Author Posted August 28, 2008 Ok -- its really not that important. Ive just never seen a 'PEARL' bike. (But its not Peter -- he was on a black bike last night -- cannot make out the name on frame)Uncropped ...
Guest colonel Posted August 28, 2008 Posted August 28, 2008 I dont know its not a team requisit to ride Killarny they can go if they want and not go if they dont want to it makes no difference to me to be honest if they there or not. The Pinkies have no pressure bud Ikeep the Iron fist for my mx team they make me money the cycling one is for fun and costs me money.
zerocool Posted August 28, 2008 Posted August 28, 2008 It's a Pearl bike. Peter wheeler bring them in. Nice bikes i think... The guy riding one is Mat thew Evans..(in the Pic) Wheeler is also one of the guys for edge..
Icycling Posted August 30, 2008 Posted August 30, 2008 To bring some clarity. Pearl is a brand I import from Germany - there is a South African connection their as the owner (who is a South African) of the brand grew up in RSA and went SACS school but immigrated to Germany towards the end of the 80ies. The product are of the highest quality and have had some really good reviews in Europe. As far as the SA market for Pearl all this frames are available at a reasonably short notices, but I don't want to fall into the trap that STEVENS did and that is to over capitalise on marketing and end up stopping the product a few years on. As far as the EDGE thing goes - well all I can say is WE and I still work very closely.
Guest colonel Posted August 30, 2008 Posted August 30, 2008 Can you give us a guideline of what the frames cost/different models? Carbon? Steel? Aluminium? Led?
Icycling Posted August 30, 2008 Posted August 30, 2008 Go to the web site www.pearl-cycles.com The Grace SL - the white bike that Mat rides retails in Germany for 1850 euro frame and fork. The frame raw (no painting) weight is 970g. The Dice - the frame I ride is about 350 euro more
