Just wanted to update on my "FaCtOr OsTrO VaM" build, weighed in at 6.96 after pedals, cages and comp mount.

pricing looks good (3999 rmb for carbon hydraulic disc), available in both disc/rim, and carbon / alu

Not really, especially if you buy used. Plus with all the affordable "original" frames there's no point in buying a fake frame, unless you want to look like you spent more money than you could afford which seems to be the case with you.

i agree with you. I just got a fake factor ostro too. I have told my cycling group that my new bike: a prisma studio ostro frameset is coming, and i will not be riding fake bikes anymore, as i will be selling off my fake bianchi oltre xr4 disc.

I have also bought the ceramicspeed bottom bracket (in blue)to ensure no one can call out my fake bike.

and you may ask why am I doing this? its simply because i cannot afford a real ostro.

just placed my order for a drive 50d equivalent. Leon is a nice chap to work with, i speak chinese and i could feel his enthusiasm and knowledge in carbon wheels when dealing with him.

It's good to know that LTWOO has been responsive and will be sending new cable soon. Based on their chat, they may also be sending a new front derailleur for a good measure, so that is good. This should indeed be a quick fix. I only wished the cable is not proprietary and can be found anywhere. Unfortunately, it is not compatible with Di2 either.

The cage is indeed removable, but not quite sure if it is compatible with Shimano-compatible cages. Looking from the design, it looks like it. Don't quote me on that though. Will have to check again.

were the cables fully plugged in like how those dream builders use a tweezer to push the cables into the derailleurs?

Factor and Trek are the only 2 bikes you can order the higher end version which even ships in the same boxes as the original.

有什么涂装? 这是新的超六?

Amazon (USA) is selling SRAM Force eTap groupsets on sale for around $800.

Levers, calipers, pre-bled hoses, both derailleurs, a set of rotors, 2 batteries, AND charger. All you need to buy is a crank, chain, and cassette.

This is a no brainer...


Thanks for the heads up pat! just got the SRAM Force with a 15% discount.
