    I have a hankering for an Orca and that is flawless, nice job. Like the destickered C50s.

    Nice looking bike. get some gumwall tyres to finish it off like the ones on the team bike.

    Mid-ride cafe stop report, it's amazing, I've not known comfort like it (although being 21 and a nearly 2nd cat racer comfort isn't key) and man does it respond on climbs and when you sprint! It just glides uphill! (Although again, thats probably me being 5ft 6 at 55kg :D) it's such a well rounded bike!

    Lovely, lovely bike that. I have been lusting after the Euskatel ones this year. Love the parallel styling of the seat stay and down tube. Looks really smart.
