2011 Forme FINESSE Road Bike Womens
At Forme we focus on style, quality and function and aim to bring perfection through passion to all of our customers.
Forme bikes are developed in Derby, England and aim to target the British Fitness and Commuting sector of the cycling market.
Our ethos is to fuse British practicality and affordable, functional componentry with European style to create the perfect machine
you “want” to ride for a lifetime in the fast lane and encourage a much greater percentage of the British population to get out on their bike to promote their health whilst discovering cycling.
The ethos of the company is to offer a bike to every rider at the most competitive price, often offering a slightly higher spec for your money in most price ranges.
Forme offer an exclusive Feminine Ergo (FE) model with the Finesse developed for both anatomic and ergonomic requirements. The Finesse has a compact frame with a shorter top tube and longer steering tube and is supplied with a narrower one23 handlebar and a wider one23 designed saddle to accept the wider female pelvic area, providing a pleasurable experience for many miles. The Finesse is equipped with an FSA triple chain set along with shorter cranks to help increase cadence and glide over the steepest climbs. Light tyres with low rolling resistance and optimal traction aid rider acceleration and give extra comfort.
Forme Bikes are a proud sponsor of Marie Curie Cancer Care and will donate a proportion of every Forme bicycle sale to our chosen charity.
