Edscoble's the female Jammer

My girlfriend bought a Foffa Primo around about a year ago (petite blonde canadian girl with the white foffa, brown bar tape and saddle, if you remember danni, it was a while ago).

I went with her to have a quick look and help her with her choices. Danni was very nice, seemed to know his stuff, and the bikes are ok. For her, it was perfect, looks cool, she could chose colours etc, rides smooth and does everything she wants.

I would not buy one for myself, but then, i wouldnt buy any off the shelf or otherwise bike at this price point. These bikes will not satisfy all, they are not what i want or require, but, having been to the shop, chatted to danni, and ridden the bikes, i felt that for my girlfriend they fitted the bill.

The bike has been good for what she has needed it for.

Good luck to you Danni, i think a lot of people are simply jealous of the position you have got yourself in. Well done.

why cant jewish men buy a foffa bike..................cos you have to be a complete prick to buy one

Nice input mate

Edit- just read that everyone has seen sense.

Really?!

Nah

I know I do

so much potatoes chopping, it's ridiculous.

I know I do

i'm sure your Ukrainian lady wouldn't appreciate such affections for Australians...

I know what everyone's saying about Foffa have come a long way and they have but they also posted this as their new concept just 4 days ago

Me thinks they still have a long way to go before I would concider buying one of their bikes.

I do however look back at some of the bikes I have posted so proudly on here in the past and think ouch. + I'm sure some people would have something to say about some of my most recent efforts and I'm only tinkering with off the shelf bikes and bits so I do have a massive amount of respect for Dani and what he's doing. I wouldn't write off the idea of buying a foffa in the future just don't think they're there yet.

Also must add that backwards low pro town bike looks like a pile of wank. There are much better ways to build an upright bike. Scrap that idea now.

Only thing i would say on that, being an (ex) mechnical engineer, the gussets and webbing is all in the wrong place.

A little form follows function for me please.

The problem as I see it is that whatever Dannii/Danny/Dani does to prove he listens to customers and feedback on here is instantly negated when he shows us a concept bike like this or indeed the high pro towny shiter.

These bikes prove that he still has (never had?) the slightest of clues about decent bike design and what the market wants and as such, local or not, is not where I'd chose to spend my money.

Dibs.

Can you do Moser decals?

Pretty sure it was combined effort of RPM and Rossin.

RPM, You say to 'keep listening to the people who know what they are talking about..' so we would like to invite you to come down and help us produce a bike which you would trust to ride on the track or road at an affordable price.

We invite ANYBODY with constructive feedback to deal with us direct including me Dani Foffa, the guy that started it.
What I don't fully understand is that on a forum designed to encourage and improve cycling such vindictive and offensive feedback is given.

What else can we do other than keep listening to people's feedback and keep improving what we do?

RPM has an open invitation to help them create a new model. From what little I know about him he also has masses of experience in cycling as well as high standards and could probably do a very fine job of guiding them with a new design should he wish to.

Also to those of you slagging off what was posted as a 'concept' bike in 'very early stages of design'. You also have an open invitation to help them create something great. That's a pretty generous offer especially for those of you who have real experience in bicycle design and engineering. I would have thought that would be a really attractive offer. If I had those skills I'd be on it like a shot. I mean imagine a bike you helped inspire rolling off the production line before rolling around London.

Then of course there are the sad saps who know nothing about design or engineering but are more than happy to nit-pick regardless. The Hyacinth Bucket's of the cycling world for whom nothing will ever be good enough. You have my pity :)
