Sweet. What size do you have, and how tall are you? I'm inches away from ordering one, but don't want to get one that's too big. It looks like you're on the 62cm, amirite?

^It came with the pedals AND the shoes?? Wow. For $8 dollars? I need to go to more garage sales. I spent $10 on cleat covers yesterday...

Myn is a 59cm. I was so tempted to get a 62 though. I am 6"2'.

yep, I was so pumped when I saw it just sitting there. The only thing was it needed new brake cables and housing but that was only $20 and it is probably too big for me but I still growing(I'm 16).

This frame might be too big for you. Your seatpost is set pretty low. Take it back to the LBS and show it to someone who knows what they are doing. Hopefully they will get you a frame that fits you better or show you how to set your seatpost.

Interesting. How does the bike feel, in terms of fit, and in general when you ride it? Do the index shifters work smoothly?

Also, you seem to have the seat in the lowest position. Is that how you usually ride it, or have you tried raising it?

[Mr.B]

I raised it. when it was in lowest it was way to low not good leg extension. i like it. its nice for price and a first bike.
And sinn its not too big I am 16 and its 59cm which is for 6"1-"6-2ish. And i just raised seat today and hips dont rock at all, that pics old. I am 6"2 1/2 actually after just measuring myself.

Yay someone else with Orbea... with White/black colour scheme too!

my ross next to my fixed gear. bought it used 4 years ago but had never really been ridden.

You're kidding me kidding me right? Black and white Orbeas are so whor-ed out on this forum.

VTHokie1001K

not nearly as whor-ed out as specialized, fuji, trek and cannondales.

As an Orbea owner...+1

How do I make my images smaller so that BF will let me post them?

My first road bike is a OCR A1. It has an Alliance frame-top tt, seat tube and seat stay are composite. 105s and compact crank. Feels close to all carbon for $1400. The 2009 Defy (OCR) A1 is going up to $1700.

thought i would throw my norco in the mix

$8. The sellers were senile and thought it was a tricycle right?

DasProfezzional

Cripes. Everybody in the world (except for me) seems to have found one of those awesome, red-and-white Schwinns for $0.00 at a garage sale somewhere. Except for me. Except for me.

One of these days...

Here's my bike:



It's my first road bike and so far, I absolutely love it.

If you're 16 and even halfway flexible a 59 should be perfect. Good you fixed it, that picture looks like the saddle was 5-6" too low. I'm your height and ride a 60cm and my seat post looks like a telephone pole.

kcirick

Maybe I just haven't been looking through the forum long enough, but I see a lot more Giant/Trek/Specialized bikes on this forum than Orbea.

Sorry for making an epic noob comment

Hi Folks! New to the forum but not to biking!

Here's mine! I bought it a few weeks ago. All I know it is what it says on the side an 06Trek SL, I can't find the exact model anywhere on the net, so I'd appreciate if any of you could identify it for me properly. I'm about to grace it with a set of Mavic Ksyrium SL's, which will drop it's weight considerably, although it is a fairly light bike to start with.

She's a peach and I can't get enough of it!




regards SB

operator

haven't been here long enough in that case

russellthegreat

haha yeah the tilt was crazy when i got, so the pics are pre-adjustment. now it looks more "normal"

Flatballer

There's really not that many Fuji on here. The rest, yes.
