Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Sweet bike. Seeing that the saddle is pushed all the way forward wouldnt you be better off with a non setback post?

Not to mention that Thomson straight posts look 4x as good as the setback ones.

Yes, a non-setback post is in the works. This is just what came with it, gotta recover from this spending craze first. May go for a wider saddle as well.

So, does it look like the mail man?

That's a very nice looking bike. Is it fast?

Well, Orbea Orca is my dream bike I love that frame more than any other bike by far,specially the 2010 that will be out very soon,but is all about budget,if my budget is not up to an Orca I would not mind riding something else but with good quality,now I know what I want.. the rest is about $$$ and I'm not just there yet.. but I feel is getting closer..
