FACTOR ONE CHPT. III SPECIAL EDITION

£ 10,500 ||| $ tba

David Millar provides the commonality between Factor Bikes and luxury cycling clothing brand CHPT.III; he is an ambassador and tester for the former, and founder, in partnership with Castelli, of the latter. These premium brands are happy bedfellows and this Special Edition is the fruit of their collaboration. It is equipped with Millar’s preferred SRAM Red eTap groupset and Brooks Cambium C13 saddle which is itself a CHPT. III Limited Edition. The rear derailleur is upgraded with a Ceramic-Speed Oversize Pulley System to reduce friction to a minimum. The model is limited to 51 units, a race number that is seen as lucky, since it was worn by Eddy Merckx, Luis Ocaña, Bernard Thévenet and Bernard Hinault in each of their irst Tour wins.
