My new toy

[Chrisz]

not much wrong with that. wasn't sure about the blue QR, but the more you look at it, it's actually not too bad with the yellow tyres. colour-coordinate the tyres with the frame or even black tyres though and that azure is going to stand out like a sore thumb.

edit: you need something else blue, nearer the back. have you got the rear QR on the opposite way? change them round so both the QRs are on the same side...

The QR skewers are about to be replaced bys some carbon/Ti jobbies - those blue ones are something like 10 years old now

And, yes, the front one is currently the wrong way around.

You got the front one going then? I'll take it off you, I've got a blue bike that's in need of QR....

or the rear one is on the wrong way round

any non-aesthetic reason why they should both be on the left rather than right?

The pair will be going shortly - just as soon as Mr Postman does his job

Definitely the front that's the wrong way

And none whatsoever (as far as I'm aware) - just looks neater when they're both the same

Being a complete hoarder, can I have first dibbs oh and is there a prospective price?

Usuasual, but simply beautiful! Fair play to Orbea for not following the usual bike designing, I love thei bikes

 

[Chrisz]

Nice bike, I like the way the top tube flows into the rear stays. That make some nice bikes as well, Orbea.

Yeah! It's one of the things that attracted me to it - everything flows nicely. One of my favorite parts is the BB shell - a lovely shape. I also love the rear triangle - again nice and flowing.

 

[Chrisz]

Ahem. Front wheel skewer is on the wrong side, please amend as it's really bugging me. Thanks.

I have now changed the skewers AND the pic - just for you mickle

I like the way you have colour co-ordinated your shoes and jacket to match the tyres.

LOL - it was all to co-ordinate with my old frame (yellow). Lots of new kit to buy now - new shoes being ordered tomorrow (hopefully) - jacket will remain though!
