hello
edwardes frames were made i think from used old racer frames
i.e. 531 racer tubes
1.e if my memory serves me, they all had luggs
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lugged_steel_frame_construction
i think they were made in house
never chrome

always painted. - white

they weren'y a mass produced thing i think

that has SWEET FA to do with EDWARDS other than it has some stickers that say EDWARDS on it which they gave away at race meets or had on the counter of the shop which you could have FOC !!!!!!!!!!!


Clive is the man to ask regards EDWARDS frames as his MUM and UNCLE own the shop and Clive ran the BMX side of it for many years as FAR as i am aware 3 riders used there frame and forks CHARLIE REYNOLDS .......... DEAN IDDIOLDS ....... AND ..... KARREN MURPHY


Hope this helps WOODY

did the older llewelyn have one, when the younger was on mongoose
i remeber the frames from the south region, and they deffo had luggs.
also, due to them - if you like being probably made to measure for the rider, they might be rarer that any bmx frame on the planet - thus I doubt you will ever see one.
' p.s. they had luggs, from my bad recollecdtion, - they 'looked' as if a frame maker - probably Bill Grey -'R.I.P' of west hill wandsworth, took a old 531 'lugged' racer frame and cut it about so as to make a 20 inch bmx frame

-did I mention they had luggs
they also ALL used a euro - or racer 'then' bottom braket

the rear stays if you like, appeared to have the rear tubeing of a racer -27'' drop handle bar racer frame.

pps, did I mention they were lugged.

which leads me to beleive they were all one off frames, hense you will never see one.
