Here is a previous thread about the Falath exp models:

My AI summary concludes that some people don't like the design aesthetics / mash-up of other brand's design, but besides that it seems to be a fine frame-set

Elves also already has dealer(s?) here in Germany, at least in Freiburg, which is a difference to other frames here on Chinertown, i guess.

I had Falath Evo, geometry was quite strange in size 59, I rode on it around 1 year, but the white color was a bit of a mess, so I sold it. I had to clean it after every ride  ;D I tested it on Gran Canaria, long ascents and descents, all great. Now I have Falath EXP and the bike is very good. The quality is top, they provide everything in the box, all is easy to assemble. I can fully recommend the frames!

So you do recommend the Falath Evo? I am going for the Evo+ that is the updated version because I love the Cervélo s5 and that is a very appealing frame and wanted to hear if the colour was the only "problem"

Honestly, seriously and personally I can recommend the company. The product is very good! I believe that you should check the geometry, which one will fit better. The head tube is really short. The only thing is the time for the personal color of the frame. It take some time if you want it. Yes, the + version is better, as it's longer, the reach is rather more natural. I needed to take longer handlebar. I still have their saddle, 3d printed, in size 155 mm, it's also very good! The handlebar is quite heavy, but very solid and no way to bend it. I swap it for the Avian Canary. If you want you can check my insta, I have quite a lot of content with those two frames ;) - marioooouzd.

I'm not saying this to be rude, but so far you have opened 8 threads for your bike build. For most of your questions, there are available threads on this forum already. You will be better of asking in said threads and might even get more replies that way, without flooding the board. (I'm not a moderator, just my two cents)
