Interesting Orbea track frame

My road bike is an Orbea with the Euskaltel color scheme but I've never seen an Orbea track frame.




Not your usual hipster paint scheme. e-bay linky

Holy crap, hipsters have their own paint schemes now?

It is a nice color, but the excessive logoing turns me off. Plus, I kinda think orbeas are overrated anyways.

I wish orbea made a track frame styled after the orca. I'm not a big CF fan but the orca 'does it for me'.

The more recent paint scheme has flame-like pinstriping in blue. It's a pretty hot paint scheme. It also comes in Blue and Green.

I love the Euskaltel color scheme; my Orbea roadie has the same paint job.

The pictured frame is mad ugly, yo! What's with the ridiculous gusset/fin thing in the headtube? There are other ways to increase rigidity.
