Forme bikes

[Stringy Bob]

Had occasion to be in Norwich recently and found a Forme dealership on the Prince of Wales Road. Looking in through the window as the shop was closed, I was very taken with the look of the various models in the window. Nice design, build, colours.

Has anyone got one/know of anyone that has?

What is the overal verdict (I am more interested in reports of the road models TBH).

I have the Forme Longcliffe 3.0FE. Been using it almost constantly for the last 4 months and have covered about 1200 miles on it. Main reason I went for it was for a winter/bad weather bike as it will take full mudguards. It isn't the lightest bike around but I find it reasonably comfortable for putting the miles in. Only thing I have changed so far is taking the Kenda tyres off and replacing them with Schwalbe Durano Plus for a bit more puncture protection.

I am sure I read somewhere that the frame is actually the same as some of the Kinesis bikes, but not sure on this.

I have the longcliffe 1.0 105 model, had this since Xmas and can't fault the bike had no issues and love the matt black finish.maybe not the lightest but I brought it cus it felt good and looked good.

I have the Forme Vision. Tried the Giant Defy and Scott S40, but the Forme felt much better. Done well over 1000 miles on it with no problems what so ever.
