Well, did you buy it????
it looks awesome! The thing is $8000 and I've leaned not to get too worked up over shiny things like cars, bikes and such. It actually took control of my thoughts for a bit yesterday. I don't like that feeling. |
Bloggage if you want to read about me nerding out on a bottom bracket.

Nice, I didn't realize Orbea had been around that long, I associate them with high en carbon bikes. Obviously the are popular in Spain.
It's cool to see a company go from near bankrupt to pretty damn successful because they were bought and run by the workers. Further proving the boss needs you but you don't need the boss! |

Yes, I suppose.
Confession: I have the collector's gene. I'm currently using Phil hubs and BB and I've practically already convinced myself I need their headset that's supposed come out in 2016 and their seat collar. It's a sickness. At least I got to feel validated for buying the bottom bracket when I pulled the Sugino BB out I installed last January (3,000 miles) and found it had a rough spot in it. :lol: |

They have been around a while since the 30s (though before hand building guns) and are a co-op part of the Mondragon Collective. They are pretty dope. I had a few customers with Orbeas and they seem to like 'em. Though I would love an old steel frame since I think they don't have any more in their line up.

Last cross race of the season today for me, think I placed top 5ish, wanted to race Bs also but it was back to back so I didn't have time to recover.
Found this cool video of last week's mud bath. Won't embed cause it's slightly NSFW. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ntnvOrOGBbE |

Today my legs are sore in the weirdest way I've ever felt, after doing a hilly metric century brakeless on Saturday.
|
Nice! I wish I could have gone on that ride, Ruskin said it was rad!

Continuing with rehab I did a windy 38 degree ride. 21 miles and I can't feel my hands.

first winter mtb commute in the dark via singletrack, 36º with a lot of wind makes it feel like 28.
saw a bunch of possums, had a bat fly out an inch from my face, and saw either two girls making out sprawled out on the ground in the middle of the trail, or a female vampire feeding on a human girl |
