I don't realize I've upset so many with my '80 degree' remark. To me, the exact seat angle (79 vs. 80) is not so important because one can easily adjust +/- a few degrees. It is the geometry of the bike and because Cervelo and Orbea are at opposite ends of the spectrum, I recommend the OP to seriously consider it. Again, both bikes are great. The Cervelo is designed with a steeper seat angle and a much longer measurement from the bottom bracket to the front axle, allowing riders to be in a more aero/aggressive position. However, the aggressive position may be fast and trendy, it’s not for everyone. It’s a really balance between aero, comfort and power and should be a personal preference. Many pro triathletes prefer to ride slack and are doing quite well, including Chris McCormack and Craig Alexander, who came in first and second at the IM Hawaii, respectively.

I went through the same process and ended up with the 07 Ordu.
