Orbea Orca - Opinions?
I'm thinking about getting an Orca. Does anyone have any experience riding
one or know anyone who has? Any thoughts on its ride quality appreciated before I make this significant purchase. Thanks. |

Thanks. I've been riding one since Jan. 2, and love it. Have only done one crit and one circuit race on it so far. Light, fast, stiff, and climbs wonderfully. Climbing is where it is really in its element, but it does sprint well too. It is stiff with great ride quality. I wish I had better fitness and skills to do the bike justice on the climbs. -- |
