El Saltemontes Posted March 1, 2011 Posted March 1, 2011 I have finally received my Orbea Alma 29er frame which I have put together with XT throughout. I am told it's the first of its kind in the country so guess i feel pretty privileged. I love the look and feel of this ride and boy can it climb.
Spaceboy Posted March 1, 2011 Posted March 1, 2011 Very nice. Not sure if the Alma is the full carbon one...or when exactly you got yours, but a mate of mine brought a full carbon Orbea 29er specced with full SRAM XX back from New York about 2 weeks ago. He is LOVING it!
Face Plant Posted March 1, 2011 Posted March 1, 2011 eisshhhh thats hot! sorry i know its a K@K thing to ask but what did that frame cost?
I-FELT-the-FORCE Posted March 1, 2011 Posted March 1, 2011 Congrats... That is pretty good looking and this coming from a roadie Many happy miles mate
El Saltemontes Posted March 1, 2011 Author Posted March 1, 2011 eisshhhh thats hot! sorry i know its a K@K thing to ask but what did that frame cost?I paid only R5250 including delivery, but the agent who originally took the order (back in September last year), lost the dealership from Orbea, and I know he ended up doing me a favour with the price.
Face Plant Posted March 1, 2011 Posted March 1, 2011 jeezz thats a steal!!! so are Orbea currently without agents in SA?
Big J-WP Posted March 1, 2011 Posted March 1, 2011 jeezz thats a steal!!! so are Orbea currently without agents in SA? No, I know the guy that brings in the Orca wetsuits has the Orbea agency now.
manbearpig Posted March 1, 2011 Posted March 1, 2011 Very nice. Not sure if the Alma is the full carbon one...or when exactly you got yours, but a mate of mine brought a full carbon Orbea 29er specced with full SRAM XX back from New York about 2 weeks ago. He is LOVING it!You must be talking about Maaaaaarten? He just brought one in from NY.
Spaceboy Posted March 1, 2011 Posted March 1, 2011 You must be talking about Maaaaaarten? He just brought one in from NY.Cheese! That's right
Weight Weenie Posted March 1, 2011 Posted March 1, 2011 Very nice, just paleeze put a thin racy saddle on it, just doesn't look right at the moment
El Saltemontes Posted March 2, 2011 Author Posted March 2, 2011 No, I know the guy that brings in the Orca wetsuits has the Orbea agency now.The Agents are now in the Strand. The carbon (XX)Alma must be absolutely unbelievable but out of my league (and weight, I,m 86kg) The seat issue is already sorted, that was just put on for the first ride
Face Plant Posted March 2, 2011 Posted March 2, 2011 have they got a weight limit on their frames? surely 86 isnt too heavy?
Eldron Posted March 2, 2011 Posted March 2, 2011 Mmmm thats purdy. Quirky with the top tube bend just before the seat tube junction. I like quirky. Enjoy!
