Nice bike; unfortunately the vividness of the green doesn't really come out over the web as it should. Very, very cool setup.

Yes i agree and its probably due to the lighting. I took the shots in the evening under flourescent lights. I can say that the green is much better to look at than the orange. I was comparing my orange Onix and the green Orca.
But I also love the orange Onix when it was still new.

I still have to compare the rides though one of these days. As of now i can say that the Orca handles much better in descents and turns.

Purchased the same frame..same size and color. Still debating whether to switch to DA10.

Just had a little problem with the preload compression cap that came with the frame and had to change it to Pro Design. The slippery carbon steerer tube is always a challenge and Im thinking of reinforcing it with Alpha Q compression (http://www.bikemannetwork.com/biking/p/COMPHSPRTCAP/HD4701) insert.

Have fun with your Orbea Orca!!
