The £1099.99 Longcliffe 1 FE, from recently hatched British brand Forme, is designed with endurance riding and long distances in mind, and comes ready to fit proper mudguards for year round riding comfort. Bucking the trend for Shimano components, the Longcliffe 1 FE instead comes fitted with Italian manufacturer Campagnolo’s Veloce gears and brake levers. The Veloce range sits neatly between Shimano’s Tiagra and 105 ranges. It provides reliable shifting and slightly smaller brake levers that better fit some women’s hands.
