I'll take the Orca off your hands for a small negotiable fee

benno68

The Orca has to be my favourite carbon bike, the tube profiles are amazing!

Roadtart

Can you do a pic of the Felt with the Mavic "shoes" on, please? Just to me drool even more.......

Why are you getting rid of the Principia? Replacement on the way?

PeeCee

Roadtart, the Felt is a replacement for the Principia really, also i've had it a while so time for a change.

cheers

Please, please, please.......

Can you do a pic with the Mavic carbon wheels on the Felt? I reckon I'd have an accident with he credit card......very quickly......!

That number of bikes makes perfect sense to me.....

Reminder to self....do pics for Bikeradar "My Road Bike". Now where has my lovely "other" put the charger for the digi camera, or should I drag out the Canon?????

I love my Onix but it just keeps reminding me that if my Onix is that good just how good an Orca must be

Lovely collection of bikes. Do you have each set up differently? The Felt seems to be much lower at the front end than the Orca.

PeeCee

Notlongnow, you're right, i probably should have more than 3 bikes

Roadtart, i just put some deep section carbon clincher Dura Ace wheels on the Felt, looked really good but i didn't take a pic!

Carl_P, the Felt is about 20mm lower at the front (the Orbea & Principia are the same), probably a bit too low really as i've been having a bit of back ache recently.
