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

Your comment suggested I did not have the capital.

Orbea-USA is in my home town. I have an Orbea and they are all over the place here.....I love them but I have to agree the double logo is hard on the eyes.

All our capital returns are insufficient.

I can't believe you OCP-types didn't notice how the logos on the wheels aren't in a matching position...you guys are slipping!

Shame on the photographer, too.

PipinFan,

So you going to rock the new Orca? You think Orbea will drop the prices on the 09 Orcas? When I sent to speak to my LBS they said the 08 were about 500 bucks cheaper, but that was 3 months ago.

Amazing. Like nothing else you might see. (Apparently Pinarello can't get their wheels lined up right either. )

scirocco,

You can't say last years Orca was not original. It's a shame what they decided to do here :/

But on the other hand, I must say that the big looks more aggressive now, or maybe it's the wheels?

If anyone wants to loan me those wheels, I will take a picture of my '09 with them and we can compare
