Orbea 2012

Finally Orbea are beginning to get the picture with their road bikes, the Orca has always been a looker no doubt but costly with nothing remotely sexy under it's price point but finally they have produced the bike that should of started the range off  3 or more years ago the spanking new 2012 Orca bronze. Basically orbea have taken the 2011 Orca's front end dropped in a round seat-post and tweaked the back end for aesthetic reasons and not performance to give a sexy entry level carbon roadie. I personally love the look of the Orca apart from the Orbea own finishing kit ( stem and bars) which looks so out of place on a £3k plus bike but more at home on the new bronze. The carbon lay up is the same as the current Onix which will remain in the Orbea line up for 2012 although not shown on the web i believe ? anyway the 2012 range in general is looking sharper than ever and larger than ever aswell. The Orca gold and silver stay untouched other than group sets and colours as does the Ordu and most of the other bikes.
The Orca range itself has 20 bikes and that's not including the women's models which alone has 17.
The range goes like this- Orca Bronze 105/ultegra/athena/ultegra Di2

                                       Orca Silver ultegra/ Ultegra Di2/ Athena/ force/ dura ace/ record/ red/  Di2

                                       Orca Gold ultegra/ ultegra Di2 /athena/ force/ red /record /dura ace /Di2

Orca Bronze 105 £1800

Orca Bronze Ui2 £3000

Orca Bronze Ui2 for the Ladies

Orca Silver record

Orca Gold Dura-ace

Orbea will be putting more effort into their road bike production this year as last year was just terrible for them so expect availability to be a lot better and hopefully they will start marketing themselves in the UK properly as they are wonderful bikes but still relatively unknown in this country, fancy a go on one we have a demo Orca Gold so get in touch.
Now fancy something big and filthy ooer misses the Alma 29'er YURSE PLEASE SANTA

I could rattle on for ages as it is such a big range but i honestly can not be bothered as i do have a life that i manage to fit in here and there so if you want more info then contact me/us as that will be the best way.
We have quite a line up planned for next year so keep watching as ill post up 2012 Cipollini's shortly which look dead funky this year and you can see the first one released into the wild by us here already.
Bianchi will be late September when we get back from Italy the best country in the world ever and our new secret hush hush brand that everyone knows but just wont sus it out.

Meantime this snippet of cycling info has been brought to you by the new Red hot chilli's album I'm with you, a large fruit smoothie and an overly loud washing machine.
Until next time children check this out with muchos base and relax.
