Holy crap that looks cool. Anyone get a ride yet or even see one in person?!
Orbea really makes a beautiful bike. My favorite is still the orange one.

Lots of mention of aerodynamics no mention of wind tunnels, CFD or how these were obtained. Stylish looking beast but I want to know why they phrase this ‘the next step’…
Looks good in white though.
That’s sweet… the black one looks like its derived from a stealth fighter
Looks better than the previous iteration. I think Craig Alexander is supposed to “debut” it at the Lifetime Fitness Triathlon next month. I’ll take some up close pics of his ride and any other interesting bikes and goodies that show up…
The only bummer is that it’s still slack geometry…it lists seat tube angle at 74/76.
76 is fine by me. I’m not a strong enough rider to see a major difference between 2 degrees of change. n:-/
And again, I’m not quite fast enough to worry about a minor change in cda. Looking good is good enough for me 
And I love the nude carbon.
Interesting. Sux if you just bought the old desing in new colors. The old design still kicks ass though, so doesn’t suck too bad. I have an ORA LTD, and I am more than satisfied! I can haul ass on that thing even with the extra wieght compared to the Ordu!
As per the new Ordu…
Looks like they sandwiched the old fram between a Trek TTX headtube & and Kestrel Airfoil seatpost? Looks good though.

Very cool…
Except for all of the Shimano garbage on it of course…
This is what you get when you’ve got a lot of spare time, a big pot of glue and some left over pieces from a Guru Crono, a Kestrel Airfoil and a P3C.
There is some design from other bikes, but I think that’ll show in just about every frame now.
I love the new head tube! And the hard lines of the bike. That nude carbon is just so cool.
I’m headed to my LBS now to see if they’ll be getting any into the shop in July…
“This is what you get when you’ve got a lot of spare time, a big pot of glue and some left over pieces from a Guru Crono, a Kestrel Airfoil and a P3C”
I think that’s a good thing! Take good design from other bikes and put a killer one together…

Not yet.
They are showing one at LifeTime registration today, just spent 5 minutes drooling while explaining to the better half why money shouldnt be an issue.
Live, the Kestrel similarity is even stronger.
Whats the price?
Personally I think it looks 100 times cooler in this link…

that pics on the back of the new inside tri, I don’t know why he’d ride it in a wetsuit though…
Its cool that we have a lot more choices now for P3Cs instead of just Cervelo
