Can anyone give me any input on this bicycle? The frame is a carbon/alum mix. The components are campy veloce group.

Is it Columbus Starship Alu? I think the Orbeas are a little over priced for what you get. Availability of frame sizes is a little difficult this year too (at least it was back in May/June.) But the Starship Alu tubeset with the Columbus carbon Zeus fork and stays ride very, very nicely. I rode a Mitis 1 that was built up right at 16lbs for a 44 mile day. There's no shortage of long steep descents where I live in the Central Colorado Rockies. I must say that it felt rock solid as a descender. Maybe it felt so good because of those beautiful Rolf Prima wheels. I'm lusting for a set of those wheels.

All new for 2004, the Marmolada features our sleek new Asphalt Carbon frame. It’s a precise handling machine with a 7005 aluminum main triangle with a new carbon seat stay to reduce weight and smooth the ride. Matched with the Zeus AC carbon fork, it’s a bike that rides well above its price range. Campagnolo’s new Veloce 10 speed group and Campy Vento wheels provides precise pro level performance. Plus a Team Euskaltel finish that is 100% painted, with no decals that make it as irresistibly attractive as its amazingly affordable price tag.
