you know absolutly nothing about bikes.
the name is on the wheels, how did you get that wrong?
colour blind im assuming? having a hard time distinguishing Red and White?
change the bar tape to white and your going to pay for it, its the harded thing to keep clean, i learned the hardway. You want white, take a look at white Hoods, that should add a nice touch to your white and black bike.

If you live in CA, it's worth a trip to Eden Bicycles in Castro Valley, CA. They are the number one Orbea Bike dealer in the US. Ask for Rick. He's an expert in bike fittings and very knowledgeable about bikes in general. As for an everyday bike, the Orca is so much more than that. It could be your stop light racer, your mountain escalator, and it will make you very popular. I've gotten many shout outs, high fives, and whistles about my bike. Too bad, not about my legs! Cheers!

My bad. Awesome bike! I have an '07 with SRAM Force.
Well I might not know anything about bikes but I love to ride and that's probably the most important thing. Cheers!

it's a nice bike, i have the same wheels, very nice. 14.6lbs it's impossible with the parts that it has. i would give it a 16-17 pound weight range including pedals tires, tubes, air, and botle cages. correct me if i'm wrong. enjoy the bike it's beautiful:-)

The bike is truly 14.6 pounds. I weighed it at two different bike shop scales and it weighed about same (give or take a few ounces). The water bottle cages are Orbea and made of carbon. I have a new carbon seat post Richey I think. Lighter than the Zeus post. I am enjoying the bike. I've noticed rust of the wheels which reminds me that I need to call Reynolds. -Cheers!

Well luckily the UGLY bars and seat post don't effect performance. As for the wheels, they are performing just fine. Fast hubs, small performance issue in high winds due to the high profile, and took awhile to adjusts the pads so there was no loud squeeking. I'm very pleased with my bike and have no second thoughts.

For me it's worth it. It's light, fast, and responsive. The best part is when I climb and get out of the seat, it puts me in a perfect position and I can climb all day.
