Replica Factor Ostro VAM

[BIFO17]

yes same for me, but the cover is very bad (look at my picture)

Any of you guys ride that frame yet, specifically one from Tom? Wanna know how it feels and what do you think about it.

Update as of this writing.  Changed my wheelset to 24/34mm int/ext, wrapped with 30mm tires.  Stiff yet forgiving. 
Cheers and Happy New Year. Ride safe

Just poppin in here. Does anyone know which supplier is making the nicest copy of the frame in terms of this special carbon layer optic of the black models. Searching the closest replica. Would appreciate any advice.

Première sortie hier (65km) et une autre aujourd'hui (75km), les 2 a 29 de moyenne. Il fait très froid (<0 °C).
Je considère que le vélo est facile à rouler, très rigide au niveau du boîtier de pédalier, et dans l'ensemble également.il filtre bien les vibrations, il est confortable. Pour l'emmener en Danseuse, il faut une très bonne synchronisation des mouvements sous peine de rester planté. J'ai un ami qui a un ostro vam 1.0, on fera un essai croisé.
A suivre pour le ressenti car je n'ai pas encore trouvé une selle qui me convienne ce qui ne me permet pas de bien sentir le vélo. De plus, je dois encore installer les roues définitives (gain 500gr), et faire des tests de puissance ( sprint à 1500w). Mais là, c'est l'hiver donc pour le moment je fais plutôt du foncier !

Have you tried the ryet saddle with the narrow nose?

[BIFO17]

Nope, I have bought a REFORM Seymour saddle, but after molding, unfortunately, it's not really a success for my backside.
I will try the Ryet saddle that I bought

[BIFO17]

Le capot du combo blackinc n'était vraiment pas terrible en terme de finition, j'ai donc décidé de le réajuster.
Voici le résultat Avant (première photo)/ Après photo 2 et 3

Original fit was pretty brutal :/

My finished build

You need to take a size 56 !
you have too much spacer under your stem

So are you a bike fitter now? lol

Joke right? If joke then include a

[BIFO17]

No, it's not a joke, and yes, I'm a bit of a riding position expert. When I see that seat height and the spacer height, I figure the person must be around 180cm tall. Also, it's forbidden to use more than 4cm of spacer. Anyway, that's just advice; I'm not the one riding that!

I dont think the bike the used bought it too small BUT its a wrong bike for them for sure. People buy aero bikes for looks and then struggle to get any use of the aero position because of their limitations due to sore back etc. I think the bike is the correct size, just a VERY wrong type of a bike.

dude just shut up. you haven't even seen the man who's riding this bike and you're out here saying their bike is wrong size.
And are you the UCI now? saying it's "forbidden" to use more than 4cm spacer?? what a joke!
Shut up and just ride your fake Ostro!
