That bike is sick af 🔥🤙🏻

[@gian-lucamoretti3601]

Stunning Bike and great build! As always people concentrate their attention on the few differences of gramms. Just for info: nowadays the bikes that the pros are riding like Van der Poel have a weight of around 7.60/7.75 Kg. Bikes today are a little more heavy but a lot more fast... You have to know that stiffness, rigidity are more important that few gramms of weight that make the bike lighter but also slower and not balanced at high speed. With a bike like Factor Ostro you can climb and go fast when to be fast. Enjoy your ride, guys!

Well said!!!!

Buen video, una sugerencia, según el manual de la batería, uno de los cambios debe ir conectado al conector central de la batería

[@mikemono]

I think there is something missing in your sentence. The new 12 spd shimano di2 does not need cables at the shifter. The rear derailleur and front derailleur are only connected to the battery

[@itsdouetthierry]

Great video. Relaxing. Well done! I have the 2023 VAM in all black with the "cameleon" logo on. I opted for the matching Black ink wheels. The bike is FAST. Still need to pedal though ;-)

[@mikemono]

I am curious how it rides! Thanks for sharing ☺️

[@itsdouetthierry]

​@@mikemono I built it myself. SRAM force group, the new version, with Power meter in the crank (you can not change the rings...) but I put a SRAM RED rear derailleur on since it is the "brain" of the wireless system. Not sure if that was a good decision or not. The wheels as mentioned are the BLACK INC FORTY FIVE CENTER LOCK DISC CARBON 28" WHEELSET. Frame size is 61 cm Purchased the parts online. After a few adjustments, seat post height, bottom bracket tighten, it rides super well. You do need to make sure you order the correct handlebars sizes. Because you are getting the stem reach length and the width of the bars in 1 shot. For my case, I feel like my bars are too narrow. But this can be fixed by ordering the correct size up front.... something that needs to be tested. The seat post can be straight or with a setback. Mine has the setback. Allows you to be a little bit more back then towards the front. Preferences, something again recommended to be tested prior to purchase.

Is carbon fiber sealant applied on the saw, big god

Kleiner Tipp, Video erst veröffentlichen wenn es verarbeitet ist ;)

[@mikemono]

Danke für den Tipp!

[@rQZaToX]

Geiles Bike und echt ein super Video! Welchen Freehub bzw. welche Narbe habt ihr hinten verbaut? Ich möchte mir auch ein Ostro VAM aufbauen lassen und hätte gerne den gleichen Sound :D Danke!

[@mikemono]

Hey, das ist die original enve narbe! Viel spass damit und vielen Dank für das Feedback 🥹🫶

[@rQZaToX]

@@mikemono Ah alles klar, danke für die schnelle Antwort! :) Auf der Enve Seite sind HG, XDR, N3W und Microspline auswählbar, hat das irgendwie einen Einfluss?

What kind of beef should be used to maintain bicycles ?

[@mikemono]

beef is not the right thing to maintain your bicycle at all

[@bicivini]

Wie kommt’s, dass du nen Build-Up in unserer schönen Schweiz postest? Du bist doch noch bei Basso, oder?

[@mikemono]

Bin beruflich in die Schweiz gezogen und lebe schon seit fast 1 1/2 Jahren in der Schweiz 😌 Ich unterstütze den Shop Strade Argovia der auch Basso verkauft. Daher gibt's hier und da auch mal was anderes zu sehen.

[@bicivini]

@@mikemono ah cool! Freut mich zu hören - dann sieht man sich vlcht mal irgendwo auf einem Pass. Dir viel Erfolg für die Saison!

[@tudtran8263]

7.72 kg

[@sharokinisayo7389]

Currently in the process of assembling my Ostro Vam II with same team color, Dura Ace, cockpit, but with Black Inc 58/48 wheels in size 52. Will post final weight with and without pedals sometime next week.

[@mikemono]

Curious about the weight!!

[@sharokinisayo7389]

@@mikemono Ok the bike is nearly complete. It just needs to have rotors, bar tape, pedals, bottle cages mounted and steerer tube cut. currently it weights 14-lbs 6 oz without the items mentioned above. With the items listed above it will add another 17 ounces. So total complete with pedals and bottle cages it should weight 15-lbs 7 oz.

[@sharokinisayo7389]

BTW the weight is with provided Good Year clinchers and tubes. I plan on replacing them with Conti 5000 STR 28mm tubuless tires.

[@Jabongskie]

Looks like canyon colorway

[@mikemono]

😅🫠

[@ozgurinsan]

Its bummer that Enve wheels does not come from factory with white decals.

[@mikemono]

Its actually crazy…

[@rattila13]

If you get the complete bike from Factor with Dura Ace, it's 7.0kg.

[@mikemono]

Powermeter (~150g), pedal (~200g) saddle(~70g) Wheels (~150g) Ceramic Speed OSPW (~50g) Based on the 6.9kg factor oatro vam

[@Dramboli]

I have the older generation of the Ostro and it weighs 7.55 kg with Ultegra Di2 (52/36; 11-34), bottle cages, garmin mount, heavier saddle 200g, assioma pedals. I have the Bora wto 45 wheels on it with 25mm tubeless schwalbe pro one. So the new frame is probably heavier then the older one.

[@treyquattro]

yeah, seeing 7.72kg for a Dura-Ace build was disappointing. Factor give you the impression that the bike comes in at 6.8kg but it's almost a kilo heavier. They actually say in their advertising blurb that a less than 6.8kg build is "effortlessly achievable". Maybe effortless if you have super-light components just sitting around and someone else to swap them for you - for free!

[@mikemono]

@@treyquattro it gets harder and harder with a ding some nice stuff like the more comfy saddle, ospw, a powermeter, pedals and so on. For sure the new Black inc with carbon spikes would have saved around 150g but still we would end up with 7.55kg...

[@simonassouline1230]

Phenomenal build, with exquisite attention to detail!

[@elrodriguez6357]

Dejar una arandela superior en el manillar integrado…….es lo mas feo horroso y absurdo del mundo en una bicicleta de tal nivel en la que el usuario seguramente no necesite ni un centimetro mas de altura en la direccion.

[@simontaylor8880]

Why so heavy!!!?
