I'm looking for a fast, light, carbon frame with a bento-box mount on the top tube and 3x bottle cage mounts.
The Factor LS and Cervelo Aspero-5 fulfill these requirements - are there any others out there?

Thanks in advance!

@markdjr
Open added to the list!

@jemima
I'd never seen these frames before - thank you!


I should have specified:
I'm looking for 2x bottle cage mounts in the normal positions, and 1x bottle cage mount on the underside of the downtube.

If I can forego the bento-box mounts on the top-tube, how much does this open things up?
I know this brings the Specialized Crux into the picture..

Definitely the OPEN UPPER./ UP. (I'm just trying to find the perfect bento box for mine)
Look 695 aerolight eTap 11
Boardman TTE eTap 11
Brompton S2 LX ti custom
Trek 5500 1994 Sram Red 10
Boardman CXR9.8 eTap 11
Open UPPER - DA 9270

and lots of non- WW others.

Not sure about weight, but Felt Breed Carbon should tick the other boxes.

@KonaSS
From the Felt website, it looks like the Breed Carbon doesn't have Bento Box mounts?
Can't see a clear pic of the top tube..
