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

Free willy!

Orca build! My frame is in! I'm hoping it gets built by tomorrow!




This will be my second road bike, also my second Orca. I'm pretty stoked.

Nice. Look forward to pics.

But what is with posting in separate posts what could have been done in one? It is silly enough when Pcad does it

very, they had everything in stock, the frame took a day to ship! I wish I were home to bug the shop about it, I'm sure they're glad I'm not there

It's 55cm I wasn't there for them to weigh it. I'll post final weight after build, that's all that matters

It's been a long time since I've been this excited. I should've used the money for a new car (I drive a beat up truck) but I don't care at all about what a drive. I hardly drive anyways, I got a girl do I'm not trying to pick up chicks....I think it's money well spent.
