Thanks guys. I'm loving her, think I made a good choice. Since that photo I've tweaked my seat a little. Moved it up and forward a bit. Looking at getting clipless pedals soon aswell.

Like that! Wouldn't mind one myself.

 

[Mark_Robson]

Very nice. I'll have to keep an eye out for you.

 

[Sonofpear]

Aye give me a shout if you ever see me mark. I'll do the same to you. Btw what do you ride?

As a fellow Orbea owner...told you you would like it

Just put some Shimano R500's on mine...rides and looks a lot better.

My Orbea is the Black frame with orange and white segments....so the black Shimano R500's set it off nicely, will try and get some photo's up this weekend.

Cheers mate. I'm thankful that people on here gave orbea the thumbs up as I knew nothing about them. So glad I found this bike and took the time to go and check it out. And to the man in one of the shops I went to who said I wouldn't getting better than a specialized allez sport for the money I was spending. You were wrong!
So what orbea do you have? I think mine has R500's on although I'm not 100% sure. I know everything else is shimano tiara but could be wrong about the wheelset. They are defo shimano.
Stick some pics up my fellow orbea owner friend. Sounds like a nice colour scheme.

Orbeas are usually very nicely turned out and ride very well, I'm reliably informed.


Just don't be looking at the Orca (in black and white livery) too soon or you may have unfaithful thoughts..........

 

[Sonofpear]

they had one in the shop where i got mine, think it belonged to somebody who worked there, very nice

Too late....I actually tell my bike I'm only looking...don't get jealous

 

[Sonofpear]

I was looking at the orca gold last night. And nearly had a heart attack at the price tag.

 

[Judderz]

I'll upgrade to the Orbea Onix next year...think £1400 is about as much as I'd spend....saw the Orca on All Terrain Cylcles website.......£11000.....as nice a bike as it is....not a chance

 

[Sonofpear]

I won't be upgrading for a few years yet. Got a wedding to save for and I was lucky to get my aqua haha. Those orca's are some serious pieces of kit. Maybe if I won the lottery.
