We have a full specs matrix posted on the Flaanimal 5.0 page now, scroll down towards the bottom. Thanks for asking!

You can route a dropper on the Flaanimal two ways:

1. External along the top tube to a collar actuated post
2. Internally inside the down tube from the non drive side port near the head tube, down the down tube, bending at the T47 BB shell, and up the seat tube. There is enough internal clearance with a T47 shell to make that bend without affecting dropper post function. That is how we do 100% of our dropper post builds.

Kathy. Here is the 48cm sizing.

Note: The top tube looks unconventionally long on this size as we worked hard to eliminate toe overlap on smaller sizes. Of all of the owners of our 48cm framesets none have had negative feedback on being able to dial in the required fit / reach that they need. This is usually accomplished with stem length and saddle setback (or lack thereof).

Hi Chris,

Flaanimal 4.1 in 56cm are completely out of stock and won’t be offered again. 5.0 pre-orders in the second or third week of January and all sizes will be available. Those framesets should arrive in the month of March.

Thanks!

If you would like matched hubs on the zero substitutions (GRX) builds just go ahead and note which color you would like in the notes on the final steps of checking out. We’re happy to spec any hub color for you. For rim decals you would need to add that to the cart and that could be found here:

Thank you!

Headsets do add stack to frames but the amount of stack will vary per brand and spec of headset. There are specific low stack height headsets and others that are designed with taller top caps which add to stack.

Here is a zero stack (for Flaanimal) if you wanted to keep stack low:

With frame weights in the 2000gr range for size 48 up to 2500 gr for size 61 we’ve been able to carefully create an incredibly strong frameset that can stand up to the rigors of road and off road riding. Our frameset weights are on par with the best in the industry while at the same time offering a more broad and adaptable feature set than any other frameset in this category. The Flaanimal 4.1 frameset is on average 800 grams lighter than the Flaanimal 3.0 frameset.

Max tire size for Flaanimal 4 will vary by rim and tire casing but as a rule:

700 x 43mm (such as a Gravel King SK)

650 x 48mm (such as a Gravel King SK)

Hi Dan. Our bikes are made in Taiwan.

Jon,

Thanks for the note. There are a couple of factors in increased pricing and a couple of potential solves.

Increases: We buy parts on the spot market instead of warehousing them so if spot pricing goes up we have to update build pricing from time to time. We may have also increased the build spec of the bike i.e. better cranks, wheels, cockpit, etc. Or we may have updated costs due to revised standard part pricing such as a new Gates compatible crank. As we build more belt drive we learn more about what works and sometimes we learn that a previously specced part such as a crank or gear ratio isn’t compatible with the frameset. When that happens we update the build spec with what we know works.

How to get the cost down: Every bike we build is specced to suit. We could go from carbon rims to aluminum rims to help get the cost down for you. We’re also about to have a November sale as we move out our 4.1 stock. Custom builds will be 10% off so that would save a significant amount as well.

Thanks!

Stephen
