Edison Cycles - Any links or tips on information

Eddie and son hence Edison, top class machines, both worked at Carlton I believe, often the fork and rear seat/chainstays are finished in the Carlton open end way. Pretty sure all were built to order in house, they did TT, road, tourers, CX and MTB's I'm sure.

I have Chris's email address if he still uses it! He might be able to tell you more, he now lives in France....I think.

This was my Low Profile he built me.

Thanks for sharing that email Ian, may drop him a line at some point, although to be honest, I probably know all I need to know so may just leave him in peace. Either way, it's a lovely frame to ride. Your Low Pro looks, well, agressive to say the least!

It's long gone now my Edison, sold in 1997 to pay bills, only a week after selling the bike I knew it was a big mistake, so many memories.

Hello,
I have an Edison Equinox road frame (in a lovely sparkly blue) - picked it up a while ago and currently in use as a single speed.
Other than Edison cycles being Chris Edison in Clowne and closing down in 2012, I can't really find out anything else about the bikes.
With the 1" aheadset rather than threaded, suspect late 80's or early 90's.

Saw a mention on here of an Edison Equinox as a tourer, but mine has no rack or mudguard mounts.

To be honest, I don't really know what more I'd like to know, but it'd be nice to know what the frame's made of, when it was made and if anyone else has any interest in them etc.
Cheers.

As this was built in the village where I live, would be interested if it ever came up for sale.
