My 2009 Orbea Orca is in!
I just picked up my 2009 Orbea Orca. Everything on it is a hand me down from my Onix except the frame, fork, and seatpost. Here's a bad pic (the shadows are everywhere at this time of day), but it's a start. I'll post some better pictures and my thoughts after getting in about 90 miles Saturday and Sunday.
Have you taken it out yet?

Congrats, that is a nice looking bike.
I just ordered my crash replacement 09 Orca last night, should be here is a week and a half! For the price that Orbea gave the frame they have a customer for life!

wow, beautiful! Black looks so hawt.
I'm jealous of the bike...and also that you have green grass in your yard. We are under at least a foot of snow here in NE Ohio

When I ordered my first 09 I ordered the black but they shipped the white instead, I am sticking with the white because I like bikes to be shiny.
We have the opposite problem here in San Antonio, have not had a decent rain in at least 6 months so all my grass is brown/dirt

Beautiful bike. I've got a 80 mm stem, flipped up, too.
Enjoy it.
Enjoy it.

Seams like it is:
1) Getting new Orca finally
2) Brother-in-law is shipping down bike rack he never uses
3) GPS was given to me because the owner is going to South Korea for a year
Now if I could just find a job it would be perfect
