Size 61cm- built up from a frame/fork.

It's insanely nice- stiff as all get out and smooth riding. Downside, the cringe inducing price.
But after springing for the SRM I don't cringe as much as I used to- lol.

Full D/A, Zero Gravity Ti brakeset, SRM Professional D/A, Rolf Elan wheels, Continental attack/force tires, Easton EC90 Equip OS Carbon bars, crappy fitting stem, sweet Aliante carbon rail saddle. The bars, brakes and saddle were moved from my last rig.

Hi, Any problems installing the wattage sensor ner your bottom bracket?

Orbea guy? What made you switch to the Specialized? Sweet ride! That's the frame I wanted, but ended up building a complete Opal with Record for the cost of the Specialized frame. How do they compare?

Very - very - very sweet bike. Congratulations!

Yeah, a bit. You need to work slowly and carefully. Watching the SRM video helps. I combined the fancy rubberband thingees with black electrical tape. The first time it was too far away and I was getting screwly zero calibrations.

I am a bike floozy! Got a chance to try something different and went for it. I have had Cannondales, Orbeas, Seven, Litespeed- but I really like Orbea as a company.

But, I have had a hankering to try a Tarmac for a while, and really liked my training partners stock Tarmac SL, so when I needed a frameset for my SRM I said what the heck.

The Tarmac SL is smoother, stiffer and a bit lighter then the Opal, but it's alot more expensive- so I am not sure they are comparable. The Opal was a sweet bike- definitely the best frame Orbea has ever made. Also the Made to Order feature is damn cool too. Still have my custom Orbea cross/dirt road bike. And probably going to put together a Orbea TT bike this Winter too.

Ouch - that is a sharp looking rig!

How do you like the Elan's for stiffness?

what size is the frame?

Nice bike. Size 61 with the seatpost high as well. Are you 6'4"?
