Back with another unique build yall. ☺️☺️
Took some deciding on what to do for a build this season. After seeing the y1rs and everyone seemingly picking one up, I wanted something with similar speeds as my previous s5 but with a geo that fit my aggressive position without adding so much exorbitant amount of force on the seat tube due to saddle position.
Enter the Factor One. It’s different, fast, meets my geo needs and this “Blush” colorway is both loud and cute. 🥰

What’s up with the pedal choice?
Love it.
I love all of your builds
That front view really surprised me. So narrow!
That colour combo kind of reminds me of Torrone, the Italian nougat.
Ummmm. Yeah. Thats pretty nice …
Sweet ride! It’s funny how your moderate wind wheels are the depth of my light wind wheels (Sprint CLX 63/58). My moderate wind wheels are the PCW 4550 (undulating 45/50 depth). I ride alongside the ocean a lot and when there’s a strong onshore breeze, I definitely get pushed to the side a lot more on my Sprint CLXs than my 4550s.
If the grey on the frame was another complimentary pastel, it would be next level.
holyyy tire clearance
They should have named this color way “Banana Split”
Finally the hope lotus aero design is hitting the road
Honestly kinda gobsmacking you can get 1600W through the off road pedals, very impressive! What shoes do you ride in? I’d be worried about the grippy underside of SPD shoes not being very sleek.
Not to flex but I actually own a pair of single sided SPD road pedals. They’re super weird, just shiny slippery solid metal on the underside, very aerodynamic!
Crazy numbers! Lorena Wiebes did 13xx peak (not 5s) on the second stage of tdff. Sick build as all of yours!
Squirts in oh my god
Obviously I’m in the minority but I hate the frameset (not the paint job). Looks like it has been in a crash from side view.
