So, I went through with it and bought my girlfriend the Orbea Diva frame and helped her build it Wednesday night. She jsut completed her first Ironman in 13:51, and I thought it would be a great way to congratulate her...it's gorgeous and fits her really well after all the hair-pulling and math-doing to decide if it was the right choice...Here are the specs:
2008 Orbea Diva Frame - 53cm - light blue
2008 Campagnolo Record Skeleton Brakes
2008 Campagnolo Chorus Carbon Compact Cranks
2008 Campagnolo Chorus F. Derailleur
2008 Campagnolo Chorus R. Derailleur
2008 Campagnolo Chorus Shifters/Brake Levers
2008 Campagnolo Chorus Chain
Orbea/Zeus Carbon Post
Ritchey Pro stem
Kestrel EMS Pro Carbon Bars
Specialized Jett White Saddle
2008 Campagnolo Vento Wheelset
Michelin Pro 3 Race Tires
Dura Ace Pedals

Beautiful bike! Ditto on C-Chorus. I have ~55,000 miles on mine & it is still going strong.
Ohh-la-la! A very pretty bike. Her specs should make her a lot more than just a pretty face.

Que bonita! (sorry, I don't speak Basque). Orbea's are simply lovely bikes and Chorus is the prefect attire for such a lovely frame. May she have many happy miles together.

It's beautiful! White tape and seat looks sharp with the blue. Hope she enjoys the new ride as much as I'm enhjoying my Pistachio green Diva, chorus also. Rode the Napa Century today and it felt great.

Is it true that it wants to ride up hills all by itself? It is my dream bike, the best looking bike I have seen (on line) so far and sounds like it rides like a ferrari
