You can argue all you like about functionality, but Orbea doesn’t half do a beautiful bike
.
Put Campy on this and I’d take it. Classic meets old style.
No MTBstyle (“sloping”) and racing style small frame + backdrop post + long stem.
Maybe, but to really look the part riding it you’d need a couple of spare tubbies over your shoulders, and be puffing a Gitane.
Sure, ain’t nothing wrong about that though. And no whining please.
what are you talking about? Orbeas are 90% aesthetics and 10% function.
Err, that’s my point.
slightly OT, but I noticed a few of the bikes were running a greenish tire. namely, cervelo and cannondale. I’m guessing it’s a rain/nasty weather specific tire??
I believe those are Vittoria’s Pave Evo CG Tubulars. Slipstream ran them as well. It’s pretty much standard fare from all of the Vittoria sponsored teams for the cobbled classics.
