As some of you may know my Orca was run over and the frame was cracked in 5 places. I contacted Orbea and they said that they do not have a crash replacement policy set in stone, but that they will work with me and give me a discount on the frame.
Does anyone have any experience replacing a damaged frame with Orbea?

Can't believe I haven't posted the 2009 Orca in this thread yet! Anyone have an opinion on if I should lose the stickers on the wheels?

One of the last pictures of my baby before she gets torn down and sold. I love the bike, but after a year of riding, I really need to go down a frame size.

That is HAWT.....I've got the Jones for an Orca real bad. I've demoed the bike about 5 times and love it but I need more moolah....maybe I'll wait till the 2010's hit the shops.
Lose the decals and go with the stealth look

I know this is for owners but...
I went to a local bike shop to get a Trek FX 7.7 today and they told me to come back next week to test-ride an 09 Orbea Diem in my size....
My question is - I know you guys love your rides but does anyone here have an 09 diem? There is literally like 2-3 reviews of it on the web and I'm hesitating to spend $2400 on a bike that I don't know about...
So does anyone here have an Orbea Diem? How are you liking it?
Thanks in advance!

Is there an Orbea owner out there with a take-off or lightly used 90mm aluminum stem (similar to https://www.orbeaproshop.com/products/detail.aspx?id=62) they'd like to sell for a reasonable price? They seem to be impossible to find used...

here is my new Orbea Mitis Ultegra. got a fitting in over the weekend and that made a huge difference. very comfortable and very responsive. this is my first road bike (coming from an old trek hardtail). this bike is so smooth and precise, coming from my old bike. really a joy to ride.
