Ti Factory Lightweight designed for racing

The Ti Factory Lightweight is inspired by the original 60's Factory Lightweight muscle cars of Detroit and, packed with a host of new features, is designed for racing - it looks the perfect crit machine.

This model includes an integrated seatpost featuring the brand spanking new IFtop secure saddle adjustment device, which has a weight limit of 500lbs with bolts tightened to 10Nm. A fluorescent indicator appears on the back of the IFtop when the height limit is reached.
 
Meanwhile, the large diameter head tube is designed to accept the new Inset 44mm headset, while an oversized bottom bracket was designed exclusively for use with the new Press Fit BB30, shedding a ton of weight, while making the frame even stiffer.

Beautifully crafted dropouts were also made exclusively for this model, which are smaller and feature drilled out faces and an engraved backside. The new single bend chainstays are designed to be even stiffer and lighter.

The Ti Factory Lightweight also displays IF's new script decal. Rather smart, we thought. There's no news on the price yet, but you'd better start saving if you want to get your hands on one.
