I wonder if '07 Orca owners can easily upgrade to the one piece drop out? The current two piece derailleur hanger flexes too much.

Bike looks great. Small tweaks. I think it's a mistake to "hide" the head tube badge with carbon, but I guess the giant ORBEA graphics on the bike tell the story. I haven't noticed any issues with my dropout, but then again I wouldn't know what I'm feeling. -P
