My wife says thanks to whoever posted that pic of a shop with a Diem in it. Now this picture is my desktop and I have the LBS checking to see what the story is on getting one of these. Probably will talk myself out of it but it sure looks like just the ticket for commuting to work. From what I've seen, they make one model with drop bars and another with straight bars and mounts for racks. Cool bike, no doubt.

Very cool indeed. It looks very stealthy in all black, but I'd like to see it in Orange...it's a freak bike! :blush2:

It would make a very cool SS/fixie too. Put me some horizontal drops on the back please!!

I still wonder if they prefer the flatbars in Europe on town bikes or that is part of the fixie fad?

Here it is with the drop bars. I've also seen photos of it with a rack on back and that looks good too, just not with the drops please. Love those disc brakes!

where are you finding these pictures from? I don't see them listed on the orbea site.

I just Googled Orbea Diem, came across some reviews from Europe. That bike apparently isn't sold in the U.S. Find the Spanish (Espaņa) Orbea site and you can see it there too:

Would make a nice commuter bike with those flat bars.

It's a cool commercial all about the Diem. I'll take a flat bar single speed please :thumbsup:
