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 made and order from Zara through whatsapp and we finalized the specs yesterday and opted for a UD glossy 45/55mm, SR261,36T Rachet, ceramic bearings, sapim cxray spokes at 1340grams.  This morning, I was surprised to receive a video of the finished wheelset (attached) and sent me a photo if i can received factory minor IMPERFECTIONS, as Zara politely offered and said.

So I was wondering from those who received their wheelsets and share its imperfections, tolerable and not, is appreciated.

My 2.0 has just arrived from Taiwan Glory and I am very impressed.  The colour I chose was 'blue to purple chameleon' - the colourway pops !

It’s from go-zone in Ali.  45-50mm depth, 28mm rim width, upgraded the rachet to 60t, marble finish at 1267grams.  Enjoying it.

what bottom bracket do you use. i order mine from yoho and i think has normal t47.
original frame has asymetric t47

I believe all Ostro vam2 has T47A BBs. Double check with your seller before buying BB.  I bought it for the mean time although it has some good reviews.

Picked up my new v2 with 54-39t rotor chain ring and 165mm cranks, DA 11-30t cassette and Supacaz handlebar tape. Feel free to criticize.  Cheers.

Sharing a few photos of the head tube and bb.  Smooth inside out, IMO.  Will share the final build once finished.

As of this writing, the fd hanger is still holding up.  Try to check the youtube video of trace velo if you'll come across with this issue.

I have received the frame just recently and have it assembled to a nearby shop with ceramic BB, OSWP and wheelset from elite wheels and man, it's very responsive  ;)
