My newish bike: 2010 Orbea Diva

Hi all,

Here is a picture of my fairly new, about 3 months old, road bike. It's a '10 Orbea Diva with full Ultegra 6700 gruppo. It has carbon stem, handlebar, and seatpost. The bike shop that I ordered it from did a great job of customizing it to fit me. I was going to wait for the 2011 Orca Dama but I would have to sacrifice the fit. So I opted to get this Diva with a 46cm frame and 650c wheels. I am extremely happy with it. I haven't been able to ride it as much as I want because of the weather and short daylight. I can't wait until the new wheels come and hopefully by then, I can start riding as often as I can!

Enjoy your Diva it's a super ride.

Yea, I agree. Orbea really knows their stuff.

Enjoy your new bike! What wheels did you order?

I just built up a new wheelset (DT Swiss RR465 rims, DT Swiss 32 hole front / back 240 hubs, and 3x DT Competition spokes) and it's definitely hard to wait to try them out, stupid winter!

Ooohhh! Those colors are HOT!!!

Gorgeous! What an awesome looking saddle bag too!

Ooh, very nice!

Beautiful!

And if you don't mind my asking - what are your plans for the stock wheels when you get your new ones?

WOW! She is gorgeous!!!! Simply stunning!!

Oh, and I love the chandelier in the background, too. :rolleyes:

I bought the zipp 404 tubular 650c wheels but I love your new wheels! They look like they're ready to tackle anything you give them.

Thanks! They're Topeak Pro Pack. I got them because they won't scratch my seat post and they look pretty cool too.

I plan on keeping the old wheels as a spare. Since the new wheels have a deep profile and I'm very light, I think I will have to rely on the stock wheels when it's windy out.

And thanks everyone for your nice comments!

gorgeous & sexy :)

Zipp 404s are a great wheelset! They would've been on my list if I had been looking for a wheelset with a deeper profile this time around...I hope you'll add some more pictures once you get them on your bike!? And thank you! A good all around wheelset was what I was going for with this build. :)

That bike is gorgeous! Congrats!

I saw that bike sitting in a bike shop when it first came out. It is an eye-catcher! The had it on display right by the front door and it is definitely an OOOHHH, AHHHHH bike. Simply beautiful........especially with Zip 404's (the Reynolds are great too). Enjoy her!

That is a gorgeous ride! Enjoy! :p
