Factor Ostro VAM seatpost profile (for light mount)

Equipment
1

I’m looking to design and 3D print a light mount for my girlfriend’s Factor ostro VAM (2023 model). She lives on another continent, so I don’t have access to her bike for measurement.

I can’t find anything online, and want it to be a surprise, so if anyone has the drawing, or can draw a profile with dimensions, it would be super appreciated (and I’d happily send a Carbon fibre-reinforced Nylon mount as a thank you!).

(Note, the 2024 models have a different profile).

I met her “in the middle”, at a bike shop in Iceland (for the rift 2023). We both had had a problem with our brakes on our flights over :rofl:

Of course, she got the guy to fix hers, while I had to buy a bleeding kit, and wasn’t entirely successful (rode without a back brake, basically).

She beat me by 30 min to the arrival :leg:

I’m faster now, thanks to no injuries, and High Volume polarized TR plan :grin:

Waaaaah it gets better :sob: :sob: :sob: :sob:.

I want to hear more meet-cute bike stories! Not to hijack your thread :upside_down_face:.

Let’s try get an answer to your question. I’ll ask internally to see if anyone has this bike. :+1:

Not to steal your thunder, but would any of the mounts from Concentric Cycling work?

Thanks, I myself am I fan of GoPro / Light Mount for Factor Ostro Seatposts – Raceware Direct – Custom Cycle Components,

But… something made by me will be more appreciated (even if less good), at least if I my perceptions are right!

I also leave in 2 days, so no time for anything to be shipped. I have designed some stuff myself, so could have hacked something quickly with the seatpost profile though.

Hey! So none of the TR team have this bike, however someone mentioned that they are pretty laid back and suggested you call their office. I’m sure they’d be happy to help out!

Not that laid back (from yesterday)

Shame as it’s not like it’s going to be particularly secret, especially for an old model!

Ah bummer. I’m sorry that didn’t work. I hope you guys are having a lovely time together :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:. I’m sure she appreciates the lengths you went to try and make a thoughtful gift!
