Re:
Well people I can tell you a great deal about Fast Eddie bikes because I used to work for the company and build them.
Fast Eddie is my old bosses farther, Charles Edward Fagg. So no high ranking race dude involved.
All FE frames came from China including the Ti, carbon and carbon/kevlar. I used to build these in an small unit in Birtly and then moved down to Whitley Bay Dome. Deep in the cellars was where they were finally built. The upstairs of the dome was Fast Eddies skate park.

That frame with the Risse shock was not the best idea and as a bike didnt feel good. The steel full suspension frame was only short travel but wasnt too bad.
Good old days and good bikes...
