Here is my recently built Zona on a budget - Got the frame on closeout for $200 and all the parts came from Nashbar or Performance with 20% coupons. Cost abouyt $800 all in - just the wheels were used. I like the ride a lot - pretty smooth. Components include truvativ roleur cranks, look lds pro 3 fork and a mix of 105 and ultegra shifters, cassette and derailleurs plus syntace bars, forte carbon post and stem and Alex 320 wheels.

I've been waiting for you to post this build for a long time now. I though that you loved riding this bike so much you didn't have time to take pictures :). Beautiful build. This horse will serve you many many comfortable miles. I love mine. Its sad that Orbea dropped the Zona from their lot.

Ride safely,

Joe

Thanks for the comments on the bike! Unfortunately I had a young lady run a red light, total my car and break my wrist - cast up to my shoulder and over 3 months of recovery - so I just got back to riding recently. Saturday was over 50 degrees in NJ and I did a 20 mile ride.....which felt like a century given my current fitness.

I hope you're ok now... more or less.
