Any comments on 2005 Orbea Dauphine road bicycle?

I am not sure if it has a Mitis frame or some other Orbea frame, the www.orbea.com site only says:

ASPHALT+CARBON 50%

thanks

But I do know that Orbea has a frameset called the Asphalt. It's the frameset used on the Marmolada bike. So considering it says "ASPHALT+CARBON," my guess is it's an Asphalt frame with carbon seat stays. Decent frame when I test rode it, but it's a step down from the Mitis, at least price-wise. They don't have a Dauphine in the 2005 US catalog I have, though, so again, it's just a guess.
