Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Orbea Frame identification

Can someone identify this frame? I tried looking through bikepedia, but can't seem to find it. Thanks.

With that paint job and carbon seat stays its probably a 2005 Lobular 50. The Lobular 100 and Mitis had different paint jobs and carbon chain stays.

Looks like you are right. https://www.sunbikeshop.com/Orbea/OrbeaLobular50.htm

I have a Mitis, which that is not.
