Ooooohhhhh and Aaaaahhhhh.

Lovely looking bike. Everything coordinated and not a thing out of place on that.

Thanks for that but it's more by luck than judgement

Yes, top work on the co-ordination. Really smart looking machine.

Everyone is telling me to de-sticker my D-A 7850s but I must say I love what you've done with your deep-sections.

Very nice Markos. Did you have those wheels on last week's club run, or have you done this recently?

Now get on and weed those slabs .

Nice.... But, can it climb, mate

Nice bike and colour co ordination as previously posted, handlebar position looks suspect but obviously suits you

I had my old WR550 wheels on it last week Carl, I just use the carbons for TT and racing.

And the weeds are my neighbours!

Nice bike.

But, what is it with the manufacturers and logos these days?? I count 11 "Orbea" logos in that pic, which means 22 all up assuming it's the same on the other side. Way too many.

Well, the owner of this bike chose to purchase and apply the stickers on the wheels, which are not made by Orbea. So they're not being too immodest by current standards.

Very lovely looking bike. Out of interest, do you have your bars angled like that on all your bikes? The downward slant is unorthodox.

I put the decals on the wheels as the black carbon without anything on it looked really 'heavy' couldn't think of anything other than the frame manufacturers name.( Gigantex seemed too long)

Bars are like that to allow the wing tops to be level when riding and the angle of the bottom bend is just right for my hands when really going for it or when racing. My other bikes are more conventional due to round bars. I have a long body and arms so being more stretched out works for me.
