Super. Looks a very nice bike with good reviews. Enjoy. I hope she earns a place in your heart.........well that's what good bikes do to me!
Just got home from coffee with my friend and delighted to see her so well. Bite of lunch then it's out on the training loop. I've made a resolution.
Thanks Paul. The finish is superb if a bit old school looking.
I've swapped the saddle to my fave (SQ Labs), changed the stem to shorten the reach by 10mm and changed the bars to reduce the width by 40mm. Saved a little weight with each of those swaps too.
The wheels are Fulcrum and light enough, but the 28 mm tyres weighed 410g each! So they've given way to a waiting pair of 25mm Conti 5000s.
And I've added a 4iiii power meter for good measure. I've got it more to the way I like it. I think for outright pace the Trek Emonda I have just pips it uphills, but it is very close. The real difference is the ride quality - I've never ridden a bike that just doesn't transmit road shock and buzz like the Orro; it just seems to dial the worst of it without any suspension system at all - very plush in comparison. So I'm sure it'll be my companion on longer rides with one coming up soon. I'm planning to ride it to visit my favourite cousin in Frome.
I actually bought two bikes on the same day from different places! I'm keeping both of those, and the Emonda when I get it back from repair.
Not sure I should give this bike female pronouns; I call it Zorro the Orro.
But I bought one of these in this colour, and the ride is just beautiful. I've removed all those horrid wheel stickers though - I'm sticker averse in all things!
My local 'Mac the Knife' or Mrs Mac the Knife as its a female just appeared outside my window having its dinner
