seems that 'Jad Sherman' gets mentioned a lot, but not 'ultimate hardware' - you might be able to get the copy of Ride that was mentioned (no chance of finding the ones Ed had as he had that bike more than 4 weeks ago)
googled that and many more results appear

I love those JAD cranks - every time I go to Hutchman's house I think they're my favourite bike part he owns!

some good info here too

OK maybe not much of the above is of much use, but once you start going down the rabbit hole :tee:

I was sponsored by Jad in 99. Had a Sherman frame with the cranks. Best cranks I have ever had (silver on silver). Shame about the bike itself. Tried gapping it a few times and just ended up nose diving. Frame was a stunner to look at but riding it was another thing. So I switched back to my Standard.
