Forme Thorpe Comp 2

[Andywinds]

Hi all,

I purchased one of these on Ebay last night and wanted to know if anyone had heard of the manufacturer? They are apparently British, just not one of the mainstream brands. I know I should have done some research first.
Thanks
Andy

Have no worries. My Forme Longcliffe has done 13,000 miles with only the usual chain, cassette, tyres required. There's not a huge amount of them about, although I met a guy last week with one too. Nice not to have the same as everyone else.

Great thanks for the vote of confidence. This one was advertised as an ex-display model just with a few shop scuffs. I reckon it looks about 2 years old ish.

They look good and are different, enjoy (assume you did all the checks to confirm not stolen, crashed etc)

Ah if it's a business and its new, it'll be fine. Just lots of stolen bikes on eBay!

Fair enough. I've seen a few dodgy listing for high end MTB in the past. It's when you see a bike with a value of over 2k with 2 lines in the description that gets you thinking.

There are 2 dealers I know that sell Forme. They look very nice bikes and have decent spec' kit on them for the money. Good choice I think.

Thanks Dave. I knew little about them until after, could have been a silly move.

Forme are one of Moore Large's brands, who are one of the biggest distributors in the UK, and a local company. Is Dave's Bicycle Workshop that one on Harvey Road?

It is from Dave bicycle workshop, but I never went there.
