Replica Factor Ostro VAM

[estingo]

Update all. I have ridden my ostro vam for a few thousand miles now. It ride extremely well and it's stiff enough. The bottom bracket doesn't creak. I have it around 7.5-6kg with not really any weight weenie stuff.  Tubes do not flex when pressed. Considering changing to a Factor authentic handlebar, but that also costs a lot more than my frame. I have nothing but good to say. I had to get them to replace the fork since there excess paint for the front caliper and was preventing it from being mounted right but I ended up just using some washers and its okay. They sent my cousin a replacement fork and it got there within 4 days of us complaining. I'm 5,11/6' and 170 pounds. I put in some 12-1300 watts when I sprint and I feel super confident on it. Insane for a sub 2500 bike. I'm using a bunch of Ali parts including 11$ disc brakes, Wuzei 211g cassette, fake CeramicSpeed OSPW, bottlecages, bartape, might try some lightweight ali crankset since the one I have is pretty heavy.

It's great to hear that you are satisfied after a few thousand miles and that you are putting some serious power down. Nice! You could keep the price under 2500, which is also impressive, especially with the weight you achieved. Do you have a picture of the finished bike?
I'm also considering exchanging the handlebar for another one; I'm just not sure which one, curious if you would go for the original one. I'll probably do a proper bike fit before I buy any other handlebar to make sure I have the right size.

I've decided I'm going to weight weenie it, I want to get it under 7kg cuz why not. Currently 7.8kg with everything on it

What I'm currently thinking

Avian Canary- 240 grams. 100g savings, costs 190 and 40 for the adapter to Factor.

Overfast or similiar thru axles, should save me 60-80 grams. 200

Farsports 2025 evo S all rounder- should save close to 300-350, costs 1500. I think I can sell my current rovals for around 1000 bucks

Crankset- Riro crankset from Ali should save me another 100 grams

With that should be 7.1kg

Maybe lighter disc brakes, darimo post, ti bolts and a few other things if i'm feeling ambitious
