Thanks.
Very nice - almost too nice that I would never put it through its paces - because I'd be afraid to scratch it.

Nice bike,
My only nitpick, is with the cool curvy top tube, it would look better if they had figured out a way to internally route that rear brake cable.

Beautiful bike...more like a museum piece than something you would actually ride.

Spying happens at all levels of the industry, I think.

Blah, not a fan on the futuristic swept styling. Reminds me of the direction Specialized is going. I'll take classic tubing and geometry anyday!

I don't know if I should thank you or kill you for posting that........ I happen to be lucky enough to have an Orca with full Record and Eurus wheels on order and unlucky enough to be told last night that I will have to wait a couple more weeks until it arrives
No really, thank you very much for the link and the pics as it will give me something to drool over for awhile. If the real deal looks half as good as those shots, I'm going to be in heaven.
Regards Dave

Bludy stuff Dave you must be made of cash. Priced one recently and the price was insane even for the Ultegra version.

I'd ride it like I stole it. A bike like that would be depressed as all hell if it wasn't leaned hard into every corner and sprinted to every stop sign.
