Hi,
anyone knows something about Flanders Forte frameset und the brand?
I've stumbled about the frame. looks nice. currently i ride an orbea terra h size s. After 3 years the bike will be degraded to my future winterbike. The geometry of the forte frame seems to be spot on for me. Size M for my 178cm height an 83cm inseam.
Anyone knows, wich frameset this is? Perhaps there is a same set from an other distributor from europe?
Didn't get an answer from flanders about the question, wich bottom bracket type the frame has.
thanks a lot for infos
Michael

Flanders Forte Frameset

It's one of the more common open-mould gravel/CX frames. The design has been around a fair while so is available from plenty of manufacturers:
Workswell WCB-C-112 (can't find it on their website anymore but it's definitely this one)
Miracle Bike CX028 http://www.miraclebikes.com/Product/detail/id/27.html
Also available from some UK/Europe-based brands:
Handsling CEXEvo https://handslingbikes.com/collections/ ... ame-orange
I looked at getting a Flanders frame from their UK distributor but the website seems to have gone now. I did plenty of research about getting one direct from China, but picked up an amazing deal on a Ribble in the end.

the handsling looks like a modified version or updated. Wheelbase is longer, tire clearance greater (unless they are measuring with 650b), and their claimed weights substantially lower.
Yes I got a Flanders recently and as you say the front TA is 15mm. I'm loving the ride, it is a bit of a pain but luckily I only use 1 wheelset for this bike!
