Does anyone own a Factor LS? I’ve read a bunch of reviews (including one by Dave R at an old place of employment). And I’ve been rolling numbers from geo charts around in my head. But it would be good to hear from an owner willing to share personal opinions on its pros and cons. Do you have it set up as a road bike?
I’ve been looking around for a new road bike with geometry a little more forgiving than a straightforward race bike and one that accommodates 32mm tires. But sans endurance bike frills. And as incredible as it may sound, I’m still a mechanical drivetrain holdout (still resisting batteries). The LS still allows for it. I’m not a fan of dropped stays. But hey. All else appeals to me. It would be great to get some subjective feedback.
After reading about the Factor Aluto launch today, I went to the website to see it there. And that’s how I stumbled across the LS. The specs immediately started ticking boxes for me. Kind of hiding in plain sight. And that brings me here. Thanks for any input.
