Anybody Own a 2007 Orbea Orca with an opinion?
I rode with someone with the new Orca coupled with SRAM Force gruppo/ Mavic Ksyrium wheels. He likes it and it looks pretty sharp. I have ridden my cousin's Orbea Onix (2005 model) and I find that it combines racer stiffness and comfort very well and climbs like a mountain goat. Because of his bike's small size, I find my Litespeed's handling to be quicker but just as stable. I'd say it is as close to the perfect ride as you can get. I imagine the new Orca is even better.





The owner of the Orca said his brother-in-law worked at the bike shop he bought from so he got the "family deal". I thought he said $4500.





BTW, the Onix did not suffer from the wooden feeling that some carbon bikes have. It's fairly lively as carbon goes, more so than the Madone I tried. really nice ride. It is a 16.5 pound bike for $2400 (with Campy Centaur and custom Velocity wheels).
Reply:what a p.o.s. its soft and not worth the 4g's your going to spend... if you like carbon fiber then look at a LOOK, or a specialized gerolsteiner frame....
