Got a little Christmas money from your Nan? Not sure what to spend it on? Well if your Nan is Zsa Zsa Gabor you might be interested in this, the Factor001 from Beru F1 Systems. Not the snappiest of names, but then you are unlikely to have heard of them unless you are involved in Formula 1 as that is Beru F1 Systems’ staple diet.
Completely bespoke from the ground up, it doesn’t comply with any of the regulations set out by the UCI for competition but instead is designed to be the best possible riding experience. It’ just so happens that it also sports some of the best looking forks too...
Everything that can be made from carbon is carbon - that is their expertise. The bike also uses Shimano’s Di2 electric shift, which has been fully integrated into the frame.
The price for this hi-tech, super-cycle is a not inconsiderable £21,995....and you have to pop into Harrods if you want one.
