Replica Factor Ostro VAM

[jerozilla]

Could you please share a link to FC Carbon store? I can't find it.

I would wait until me and the other user here receive our frames as there has been what seems like some decent delays in shipping. Mine has been stuck at awaiting flight since the 24th.

offers the frame in 3 tiers, the third tier being the highest quality closest to a real one, the one in Oralmaster's photos that he said he could not feel the difference between a test ride of a real one and his tier 3 version. I have ordered the same one, actually identical to oralmasters size and color by chance lol.

what price we talking all in delivered?

I contacted both Taiwen Eisen and FC Carbon and both stated a delivery time of 60 days for the v2 version

with shipping it's about $1025USD for the tier 3 one that is the closest to the real thing. Shipping is steep at over $100 for not utilizing something higher end imo. Mine I can't tell if it's the poor shipping or the strike that backed up mail in my country for weeks and some countries stopped sending packages in so they could catch up on the backlog. Mine was passed off to the airline in Singapore Dec.24 and hasn't moved since "Awaiting Flight".

F-C also quoted 60 days for the Ostro v2 so might be sourcing from the same place as the other ones but Taiwan Eisen offers 45cm while F-C said a 45cm frame would be almost double as its niche even though Factor brought back the 45cm size in 2024 with the v2.

I'd rather have the tried and tested v1 that we've seen from Oralmaster and another user than a brand new one even if the v2 is nicer.

Totally depends on the seller/store which one are you referencing?

I’m referring to a legit Factor frame, not the copies. As weighed though and based on the previous posts, I would expect the high end v2 to be competitive.
