The drop: the F5 Adventure
Factory 5 looks like they are poised for a serious expansion in their product lineup, with the release of this light touring/adventure bike. No word on if this is a one-off, but it looks like an interesting beast: 1x drivetrain with town tube shifters, caliper brakes, Columbus Zona steel frame, rear rack mounts (but looks like no fork mounts? Again, what about fenders?)
Of course, the inevitable question: but how big a tire can you stuff in those calipers? With caliper brakes like that, it reminds me a little of the Mr Pink, but a more classically-minded build. Also wouldn't say no to another set of water bottle cage bolts in the undercarriage.
