TNT1 Posted February 13, 2012 Posted February 13, 2012 Pity - it probably wasn't my size anyway hey, if you username is anything to go, it might. Dude was a bit of a shorty, bike was small.
Red Zone Posted February 13, 2012 Posted February 13, 2012 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.
Tiny K Posted February 13, 2012 Posted February 13, 2012 hey, if you username is anything to go, it might. Dude was a bit of a shorty, bike was small. My user name is completely opposite to my size - 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.

divernick Posted February 13, 2012 Posted February 13, 2012 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.
Lucky Luke. Posted February 13, 2012 Posted February 13, 2012 fugly. +1 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.
patches Posted February 13, 2012 Posted February 13, 2012 I think the cable guides are form-over-function. They look nice but continuous cabling FTW!
Tumbleweed Posted February 13, 2012 Posted February 13, 2012 Is it just me, or are those rotors on the small side?
ThePubSA Posted February 13, 2012 Posted February 13, 2012 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
The Drongo Posted February 13, 2012 Author Posted February 13, 2012 (edited) 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.... Edited February 13, 2012 by The Drongo
The Drongo Posted February 13, 2012 Author Posted February 13, 2012 I think the cable guides are form-over-function. They look nice but continuous cabling FTW! Ah. Look closer young man....look closer

As to the carbon having less 'presence', hold that though whilst I dredge the 'white carbon' real life eg. off my cellular telephone......................
The Drongo Posted February 13, 2012 Author Posted February 13, 2012 +1 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. So you don't think that 'ALMA' suits then LLucke? ALMA ain't a whale!
The Drongo Posted February 13, 2012 Author Posted February 13, 2012 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. Thank you sir. Glad I could help....

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! Edited February 13, 2012 by The Drongo
The Drongo Posted February 13, 2012 Author Posted February 13, 2012 (edited) Make that two. Looks pretty darn average to me. Show me YOUR seatpost clamp BABY! Edited February 13, 2012 by The Drongo
