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. 🥰

About me, the rider:
Height: 5’5”
W/kg: just popping over 4.8
Power Profile : Sprinter ( peak power @5 sec … I shit you not 1615w 😂)

    “Unique build” and its literally what my Factor dealer had on the floor when I bought my Monza 😆

    My back snapped in half just looking at that. I know I’m no longer the target market for such a bike, but the geometry on that looks absurd.

    The dentist strikes again! Do u purchase a new bike for every season? Beautiful build!

  4. Pays attention to every detail… In both reality and description. And then wraps the bars.

  5. It’s clearance aside, the angle of the fork! I’ve never seen it so steep on a race bike.

  6. you didn’t get the SpongeBob livery from the TdFFaZ? i’m very disappointed in you, OP

  7. I’m sorry, I’ve said it before and I’ll keep saying it, these bikes are fugly all day every day. Fugly to death. Fell out of the fugly tree and broke every branch on the way down fugly.
