Very nice. My family is origi9nally from the region of the Iberian Peninsula (they would never say Spain) where Orbea is headquartered. This bike was my second choice, right behind the Colnago C59 that I eventually ended up with.

Very hot. I especially like the seat post clamp.

it is a beautiful bike IMO. I really love it. The first seat post clamp gave me issues actually...no problems on this one though. I think I just go a bad frame on the last one and I understand that happens in any type of manufacturing.

One of the best looking white bikes I have ever seen. This and the Ridley from a couple of weeks ago are top of the line! Well done Frederick!

That's hot, I have been riding a 54cm SL3 and switched to. 52cm for my Venge! Quite a difference in maneuverability.

I always thought the font that Lightweight uses on their logo was cheesy. However, it does look good in supersize on that rear disk. Very cool.

I keep looking at this bike and shaking my head, because, one, I couldn't realistically outlay that much cash on a bike, and, two, even if I did my legs couldnt justify such a purchase. I dont TT. I dont race. I am not worthy.

That bike is going to be sick! I love raw UD carbon. It's like the imported Italian marble of carbon fiber.

White bikes are for girls. A few pull it off - that Ridley and the guy from Singapore that has the Time RXR with LWs. Both are top five.

I suggested those Enve decals. Mine were being built at the time.

I like your style. I had a local sign/vinyl shop cut those out for my wheels. The OEM Enve black decals have a matte finish; I wanted the gloss black decals similar to the decals on their Smart wheels but without the "smart" logo. I just ordered a 2nd set decals for another pair of Enve 65s/DT Swiss 240s/Cx-rays thats going on the caad10. The white OEM decals definitely had to go since my caad10 is the gulf colored frameset.

I like that gulf frameset. I usually don't like bikes like that, but those colors work really well.

Why did you choose DT?

primov8 07-13-12 08:22 PM

I bought it from a friend of mine who jumped on the Zipp FC bandwagon earlier this year. Probably my best bargain purchase of the year, $800 and the only time he took it out was on charity rides and our usual weekend ride(pending no rain, lol). I doubt the wheels even saw more than 5-600 miles which was too good to pass up.

That Ridley is so.damn sexy!!!

Also very nice! Question: You don't hit the end of the drops with your knees while sprinting?
