My Orca hope you like it
It’s the most beautiful sport in the world but it’s governed by ***ts who have turned it into a crock of ****.

Very strange looking frame.
The forks look tiny and it almost looks like there's seat mast missing0 -

Looks like a normal sized frame to me.
It will look normal to you!
Looks like about a 48 or 51...0 -
Orbea Orcas always look heavy but, well, they're not are they?
I assume this is a mega small frame!
Hope you ride it lots...
Frame is a 51 (a 52 in real terms) and weighs 980g so no not that heavy. 5000 miles so far and its a dream!
Am only short! 5 foot 7.It’s the most beautiful sport in the world but it’s governed by ***ts who have turned it into a crock of ****.0 -

5ft 7" isn't short...is it????!!...anyway what am I worried about I'm at least 5ft 8", ner...!
nice bike by the way...is it quick?0 -
Did not realise there was activity on this thread!
Is it quick? As quick as I can make it! The ride is sublime though very alive but at the sametime comfy.
The wheels whilst they seemed very nice at first I think I must have had a duff pair as they started making horrible noises. Despite the efforts of the shop this was not cured and I obtained a refund. Today I have placed an order for new wheels from a certain Derek at wheelsmith!
I have taken the opportunity to remove the rather tired shimano which I did not like anyway and I have a nice new shiny groupset ready to be fitted when the new hoops arrive. Mid life freshen up. 8)It’s the most beautiful sport in the world but it’s governed by ***ts who have turned it into a crock of ****.0 -

Bit of an update for new season. Have replaced the gruppo with Athena and a very nice pair of wheels from Wheelsmith (cadence aero's on novatec with cx-ray spokes).
Although am now thinking of new orca :?It’s the most beautiful sport in the world but it’s governed by ***ts who have turned it into a crock of ****.0 -
