Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Orbea Volata

I just purchased a 2007 Orbea Volata (Campy Mirage 10, Campy Khamsin rims; Vittoria Flash tires). I think I got a great deal on the bike at $675, as it was basically not driven at all. Anyone out there have the same bike. Questions:
1. I notice the Volata is not in the 2008 Orbea line. Reasons?
2. Known issues with this bike?
3. Looks like this is the entry point for Orbea. What are the thoughts on Mirage 10? On par with 105 or slightly lower in quality?

I know this is an old post but How do you like the Volata? I just put a deposit on one at the local LBS. its a left over but brand new 2005. I loved the fit and fell of the bike. Considering I have a low end iron Horse triumph now that I put 3,000 miles on this is a major upgrade for me.

And I love the color
