Shiny new Orbea

My shiny new Orbea arrived from Epic Cycles this week. Took it out for its first proper ride this morning and it was awesome. I had a bike fit done up at Epic a few weeks ago and I can't recommend the place enough.
I've been riding a Dawes tourer for a couple of years now so this is my first road bike.
Not sure if this is the right place to post it but here's a pic anyway (if it works).

Well I got it through the bike to work scheme so I was limited to 1k (although I had to pay a bit more for 105 rather than tiagra).
I actually prefer the look of the 2009, but I just couldn't afford the £1400 for it.
Fair point - I got mine as a frameset and built it up myself (mostly Campagnolo Record) Frameset by itself was just over £1k. 0 -
Lovely bike, hideous saddle bag though !
EnjoyMy knees hurt !0 -

Nice bike and great choice of Whisky too! Get yourself a little hip flask for the Laphroaig nip half way round your winter loop. 0

Thanks and thanks...I wonder if I could get a bottle cage that'll take my hip flask. :P0
