Doesn't do it for me, I don't like the sharp angles and the bend in the top tube. Probably not enough clearance for a real rear tyre either.

 

I do like the cable guides though.

My user name is completely opposite to my size :lol: - have had a chat to a few guys on the hub - they are like "are you tiny k?!" - I am 1.93m tall. Need a 59cm frame to fit me.

Love the Orbea. It's about time a MTB got called sexy and got it's own thread, instead of these too-curvy,anorexic TT bikes.

I always thought 'Orbea' sounded like a type of biscuit. Also not sure why they name their top end road bike after a type of whale.

I like it , kink in top tube is a little weird , think the alu version has more presence then the carbon , nice attention to detail and 'summin a lil different' , price would be the resounding factor for me :thumbup:

There always has to be one ... I think it's fugly.

The only thing I like is the brand of tyre.

 

Yes Skott5.

 

But don't feel too bad, like being colour blind many men only have taste in their mouths too....

I think the cable guides are form-over-function. They look nice but continuous cabling FTW!

 

Ah. Look closer young man....look closer

Then you and Tumbles will just love the kink in the down tube too !

 

As to the carbon having less 'presence', hold that though whilst I dredge the 'white carbon' real life eg. off my cellular telephone......................

So you don't think that 'ALMA' suits then LLucke?

 

ALMA ain't a whale!

Well, they make no illusions to it being a ghey bike, and as to tyres, well why on earth would you want to run anything over 2.1 on this lean lady anyway.

She be for fast and furious!

 

EDIT: I LOVE the cable guides!
