Road Bike Frames, Wheels & Components / Re: Replica Factor Ostro VAM
« on: December 19, 2025, 11:58:05 PM »
Hey guys.
New to the forum and got inspired to buy one from this thread.
I was wondering if anyone has successfully fit a genuine Ostro VAM 2.0 seatpost into a replica frame. I received my seatpost yesterday and tried installing the HY/Hylix post, but it wouldn’t fit. After measuring, I found that the HY seatpost was 1mm longer front-to-back (along the bike’s longitudinal axis).
I’m trying to figure out whether this is an issue with the seatpost itself, or if the replica frames use a slightly different seatpost spec compared to the genuine one. Any insight would be appreciated.
