Who said road frames (Orbea Orca) don't make cool TT bikes?

http://www.stephenperera.com/tribe/orbea.jpgOkay…now I have Rotors instead of the DA and the HED3 will be replaced by a ZIPP 404 (set) which I have just bought on Ebay. I’ve gone tubulars with the 404’s - never used or had tubulars…I think I might put on the Continental Podiums…

Very nice!

fot from last summer taken in the park below the apartment block I live in…hey Tibbsy…check out the tribe cap on the thread I posted today? cool eh…by the way…is this bike as cool as the Tibbervelo???

You’ve got to love that Orbea!

I now own one too!

Sweet Orbea! Damn, I really like those bikes! Love the color scheme! I have a set of 404’s and love them…you should as well. You are still going to ride the 3 spoke and disk on flat courses aren’t you?

Hey lonestar…can you get those blue flowery ZIPP wheel decals anywhere…as the bike is blue I’d like to get the normal ones off and those on…that would look cool on the Orbea.

The HED3 is being sold off to finance the ZIPPs but the disc stays…

I am getting new decals for mine as well. I had to call Zipp directly 'cause no one around here stocks that stuff. Zipp’s toll free number in the US is 800.472.3972. I have no idea how you call them from where you are but you probably do. Let me know if I can of assistance.

That is one sweet ride. The Orbea ORCA is on my short list of lustful bikes. Too bad I’m not replacing the TCR Composite or P3 anytime soon :slight_smile:

Is that HAIR I see on your legs? =P

Sweet ride…

Very nice.

I see more triathletes turning to “time trial” set-ups as the downturn of triathlon starts!

very cool, but why not go with TUFO?

Frog,

I have heard mixed reviews on the TUFO’s. What have you heard? Do you ride them?

alot of people here seem to love them, I have never heard anything bad about them. I raced continental Sprinters last year, didn’t seem anything special. I just got some Tufo Jet Specials (just a coincidence), haven’t ridden them yet.

Hey sperera,

I called Zipp to ask them a question about my 404’s and while I had him on the phone I asked about those blue decals. They said that was a special deal they did with Cannondale and going through Cannondale was the only way to get them. If you want those decals give Cannondale a call. Unfortunately, that is all the info I have. I don’t know if they stil have them or who to speak to. Sorry, I don’t have better info. Good luck!

the Aletta might be a better bet.

“Who said road frames (Orbea Orca) don’t make cool TT bikes?”

I don’t think I ever said that.

Very nice.

Thanks for trying for me my friend…perhaps just the white ZIPP letters would be cool…some of their wheels have them…

Sweet looking ride, but come on! That guy’s position is terrible - flat back (totally vertical) and he looks like he’d fit better on one of Francois’ bikes.

hahahahah…good one…yes, Sean’s position is a bit upright…I keep telling him to get low…work on the hip-flexors son…the abdominals…come on…

your wife is way to hot for you…you must be rich :stuck_out_tongue:

nice ride
