Elves Falath EVO 2023

[ExclusiviteChinoise]

I've been searching and still can't find any video of someone actually riding this frame from different camera angles so we can see the actual form of a cyclist riding this frame. The promotions from Elves so far sadly only focus on the frame's appearance. Would be nice if they made some sick shots of someone going full gas + sprinting on this thing.

Looking at GC Performance's latest build, I'm kinda still drawn to this frame.

Received my frameset, bars & wheels yesterday, currently building it. The paintjob looks amazing, finish quality is pretty good, some imperfections here and there but overall really nice. Only downs for now are that I asked for 2 spare mech hangers and only got 1, and didn't get the included grease&carbon paste like in some youtube videos.

Finished building it, everything went well, just the brake hoses were hard to fit into the handlebar, and the rear hose was pulling the handlebar towards the right side, it went away the next day... Maybe the hoses needed to "take their form". Paintjob is amazing, same for the wheels, the noise is insane, didn't do a real ride yet but just cruised around, the bike feels really stiff yet comfortable with the 28mm tyres and 29mm wide wheels, should do a real test ride tomorrow. Bike comes at 8.2kg with pedals, gps mount and bottle cage, really good for a size 61cm frame sub 4k euros.

Very nice build. Congratulations!

Thanks for the awesome photos

I like how the handlebars kinda tilts upwards. Looks like it adds about 10mm more stack.

They quoted 25mm setback on the seatpost. However, on GC perfomance's video, the black Falat Evo build (see attached image), it looks like the seatpost clamp can be adjusted to minimize the setback. Can you help to verify this? Meaning the setpost setback could be reduced to maybe 15mm?

Like is

Yes, the seatpost can be adjusted fowards, about less than 1cm, so it's not much but you still have some room to play with, I can move my saddle about 7cm fowards between fully backwards saddle rails + backwards clamp and fully foward saddle and seat clamp.

Wow, thank you so much for painfully taking the saddle apart to check and for sharing the pics and video. Really appreciate it!
The little movement forward was just want I needed to confirm that the back side will fit nicely for me.
Thanks again!

Bike feels really good, it's easier to stay tucked in than my rim brake Madone, the flat aero bars also help since you can put some weight with your wrists. It accelerates way better than my TT bike but almost holds a 50kmh pull as well, the perfect bike for flat roads.
I'll test it in uphills this weekend
