Nice choice of parts.

How budget was "budget"?

Is it really called a "Starship"? that's almost as stupid a name as my bmc "Streefire"
1100-1200 or so. Budget for the road world, sadly. I'll hang it on a fish scale when its all said and done, it wasn't a weight weenie build, I'd figure I'd weigh it while it's apart.

Some of Orbea's literature call it the Starship, some don't. It's called that because it uses Columbus Starship tubing, which at the time (maybe still), was the lightest tubing they made. The first bike they built with this tubing was just called the Team Euskatel. So the frame has a genuine Protour/ TdF lineage, which means it more then enough for me. Ever.
