Re: The Cycling Thread
My dad has one and it is a really lovely looking bike, he won't let me have a go though so I can't tell you how it rides. Having followed him though the thing is silent, by comparission to the Giant he gave me althought this is down to the groupset right, he swears by shimano.

Re: The Cycling Thread
I have a mate with an Orbea Orca - lovely bike with Campag groupset. Trouble is that it's as noisy as feck when freewheeling. Really loud and does sound like an orca (killer whale), so that's prob how they came to name it.

 The lower-end (circa £2.5k) Orbea bikes did well in the CyclingPlus BOTY awards a couple of months ago
