Should be ФОФФА, surely? (Or would it be only one Ф in the middle?)

According to http://londonmania.ru/stories/english-bicycles/Foffa-bikes, your double Ф is correct. Mind you, they have a pretty narrow view of English bicycles so I wouldn't rate them as the definitive source. Davide Foffa of plesiosaur fame gets the same transliteration, so you're probably OK.

Cheers for that. Interestingly, as a bike brand Foffa appears to be spelled consistently using the Latin alphabet. It's only mentions of Дэнни Фоффа (no prizes for guessing who that is :) ) that occur in Cyrillic.
