I can only speak for my experience - a sample of one.

Photos of my Falath Evo are earlier in the thread.  Ridden Tour of Flanders, Ride London, and rest of year on it.  Paint was immaculate to start with and still is.  Ride has been comfortable and fast.  Needed to slim down my collection and kept this over the 3T Strada mainly because ride is similar but the paint job on this is nicer!

I've had both separate bars and an integrated bar from Toseek both through Ali Express.  I use cabled gears and on my 3T Strada the integrated solution didn't work as well as the replacement bars but I transferred the Toseek to my gravel frame which has less additional bends, and changing has been good.

3 years plus on these so I don't know if spec has changed but I like flat tops. Plenty stiff enough for me at 76kg.

Yes.  Size 46.

Sram Red mechanical (with Ratio Tech convertor to get to 12 speed) helps too.  Elite Edge wheelset pretty good weight with Michelin Power Cup Clinchers/ TPU tubes.  Otherwise Galfer rotors, Hope brakes, Kocevlo (Ali Express) saddle, Pass Quest Chainring, and titanium bolts.

Only real weightweenie item is Aerolite Pedals.

I joined this forum relatively recently to get an insight into users' experiences of different frames.

I had an itch to buy a new alternative justified by 3 disc brake bikes, and 4 of my family riding Flanders next spring - yes it's tenuous!

Originally looked at the Yishun 1088 but just couldn't get excited despite the good feedback, by the design, and if I wanted custom colours and a one piece cockpit, costs with delivery into the UK were similar to the Elves Falath.  So that's what I've gone for.

I like different.  My main bike is a 3T Strada, which in its 1 X form seems to polarise opinion.  In the long and distant past when I raced I had an Ian White low profile frame in lugless oval/teardrop 753 which attracted attention and an Omega lugless track frame with small front wheel (for bunch/sprint races).  So the unique (ish) of the Elves appealed.  Slammed and 1 x with mechanical I reckon I can get it to around 6.5kg (my Strada is 6.1).  Only downside for me was the gap at the rear end.... For someone used to fag paper time trial bikes it just doesn't look right.  However wheelbase in my 46 size will be shortish and I'm prepared to accept that the tyre /seat tube gap may not make it a brick.

I'll report back.  My Strada is I think pretty aero and is very comfortable (actually moreso than either my Genesis Datum or Vitus gravel, so looks can be deceptive).  I won't be testing in a wind tunnel but having a very good idea on my capabilities on a 6 mile lap over many years and with a long straight downhill, I'll get a clear idea on whether this is a brick as suggested or super uncomfortable.  If it doesn't beat the Strada on one, I'll sell it on but I am prepared to accept users' feedback might give it a chance compared to some on here ...the Simplon Pride 2 still has the best aero score with some of its tubes looking more rectangular than teardrop....

Hi,

New to forum.  Was looking at the Elves Falath Evo but concerned about the rear wheel clearance (too big a gap for someone used to fag paper clearance on my bikes in 80s).  Looked at various others on here and reached out to Yishun on their R1088-D.

They have agreed btw to supply this in Matt Black, with seatpost, stem (not integrated bar) for 699 Euros from their stock in Germany.  Custom painting would be a different price from China.  My issue that stops me buying is that I run most of my bikes 1 X and I'd want to remove hanger.  They tell me this is difficult (it looks like Allen Key on their web pictures but I'm presuming it's actually riveted). So still thinking about it but thought I'd add the intel as they have suggested it's superior to the R086 which is well reviewed on here.
