If you've never had the pleasure of riding an Orca, this bike will introduce you to the legendary solid, direct feel that Orbea engineers into its pro-level bikes. It accelerates with ease, and carves descents at any speed you like. Unlike other pro-level race bikes, Orbea designed the Orca frame to accept a triple chainline. This bike's triple means the wide range of ratios let you spin up almost any road, no more mashing ascents - and gives up nothing on the high-speed end of the spectrum. The true element for this light steed with its 52/39/30 cranks & drivetrain would be in running the Alpe d'Huez, or on a Pikes Peak ride. Nearer to LA, you could jet up PCH to Ventura, climb the GMR up to Mt. Baldy, or ride a tailwind down the coast some afternoon to Encinitas and take the late train back.
I removed the factory protective strips from the shifters & rear derailleur just before shooting my pics, and there is still factory lube on the chain. Most other bikes in this range advertised online have 2,000 - 4,000 miles or more and so don't really compare to my bike's 50 miles. This '09 Orca is as close to new as you will find.
