A size 56 Factor Ostro V.A.M built for a rider who wanted a race bike with nothing on it that did not earn its place. It finished at 6.67 kilograms as pictured, pedals, cages and computer mount included. The weight came from the periphery rather than the groupset: Easton EC90 SL cranks carrying a Power2Max spider and Carbon-Ti chainrings, a Berk saddle, and Farsports Feder rims run 45 deep at the front and 55 at the rear with staggered 25 and 28mm Veloflex tyres.
