This past week we had a blast from the past in the best possible way: not only did we build up a Trek Y33, but we got to build it up the way we wanted it back in the day, when we loved nice bikes, but didnt yet have the nice bike money. Take a stroll through this post build gallery.
Not long ago Factor surprised us with a fun new model, the 'Monza'. It is very similar to the Ostro, but with some minor differences, and to add to that it could be considered a value bike, coming in at right around 7k for the SRAM Force build. Lets look together.
Building a weight weenie bike is one thing, but building a functional daily driver weight weenie bike at under 5 kilos is a whole different thing.

Do you want to do a weight weenie project, but dont know where to start because you have to take price into consioderation? In this blog post we will look at a weight weenie bike that was built on a budget, where we utilized some already owned, but fantastic parts and walk away with some great ideas for starting a similar project of your own.
