but on the topic of the ordu you need to do more homework mate.
the ordu has barely hit shores here, that is why the one pictured is with red because currently they have only made two sizes because the produciton cycle for them has barely began, and those are sold with RED only and the frameset is not available yet.
Also there is NO/ NONE data stating that the 2008 P3C is more aero than the 2008 Ordu. the ordu was a completely different rig in 2007. Also I believe it is lighter as well. the 54 is stated at 1275 grams ( not confirmed ) and the P3C (54 cm ) is 1300 grams But usually come in higher ( 50 grams)
I pointed out that it's not difficult to build a light bike because you seemed surprised and proud that your bike is 15 lbs..."I was really surprised because I didn't really work to make it lighter"...you shouldn't have been surprised.
As for the Ordu and P3C...two of my LBS's are Orbea and Cervelo dealers...and they both are subject to all sorts of sales and protional propaganda from reps from both manufacturers, even presentations and events thrown by reps from both manufacturers. And guys at both LBS's say that Orbea and almost everyone else is STILL trying to play catchup with Cervelo. I say "almost" because everyone is excited and waiting for hard data and long term riding impressions regarding the new Specialized Transition...lots of buzz around this bike.
Have fun, mate.
