The New Orbea

Here she is girls. (I hope so anyway) The new purple Orbea. DH drove me up to Gear Works on Friday night and they were just putting the finishing touches on. What a sweet ride.

Holy cow she's pretty! I'm drooling

She is beautiful!!!! Are those pink wheels? When does she come home?
Have a great time on your new bike.

We picked her up Friday and she has 50 miles on her already. :D The wheels are pink Velocity with purple Michelin Pro tires and the handlebar tape is purple, pink and white, all picked out by hubby. He even had them upgrade to Ultegra ten speed. It was definately worth the wait and the best part was it was a surprise since I didn't know it had come in. Gosh I luv my man!

What a beautiful bike! And a matching purple helmet too! I wish the two of you (yes, you and your bike) many happy rides together.

Oh, how pretty! Lucky you!!! Have a great time on your new bike.

Gorgeous! You'll have to take a field trip to Maine in two weeks so I can see it in person. :D Oh wait... you will be in Maine in two weeks. We're bringing the tandem.

Well worth the wait me thinks. She sure is a beauty. We will have to catch up one of these days when the kids have gone back to school and do a ride.

drooling

What a beauty! Now I have to go turn off the computer and wipe up the drool so I don't get electrocuted....

Soooo pretty....and w/the Ultegra 10 speed, not just pretty but kick *ss too!!

Barb, I love the "bike porn" comment. I probably WAS looking at it like I'd look at a porn picture, lol!

It oughta be illegal to make such a pretty thing!

Ohhhhh beeuteeful

Thanks guys for all the great compliments. I will be in Maine in two weeks Veronica but alas my new bike will not, only my old Mountain bike.
Have fun and enjoy the Lobstaaaahhhhh. ;)
Karen, lets get together after we get the monkeys back in school. How is the new job going by the way?

:p :D Me wants a new bike like this toooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!! Please , please please

Wow! Lucky you!!!

Very pretty bike, and yet it will certainly rock!!! Lots of happy rides to you two (four including DH and bike).

Great bike, Jody. Now, when are we going to ride? It sounds like you will be away the same approximate time as me, so maybe you can steal away for a couple of hours sometime later in August? My husband and I are leading a ride on Sat., 8/21, if you are interested. But anytime is good for me.

OK... that bike is downright GORGEOUS! WOW!!! You must be totally elated... does it ride like a dream... climb like a dream, descend like a demon??? Oh my!!!

Soooooo... when ya changing your name to "Orbeagirl"??? ;) :D

yum. sigh.

Thanks for sharing your new ride! :)
I was just looking at the Obea line yesterday at the LBS... and drooling.
They are very attractive!
This one is extra special!

Enjoy! :D

For anyone interested I happen to know that four purple ones came into the country last week, okay now there are three. My hubby formed quite a network trying to find mine, even talking to the guys in Spain. I'd like to add a plug for "Gear Works" in Leominster, Mass. Gene and Darren, you guys rock!!!! :D

Now I need to name my baby! Any thoughts girls????

be still my beating heart! It's a good thing I missed this thread yesterday - I'm not sure my heart can handle bike porn 2 days in a row!! :eek: She is a beaut and was well worth the wait. and give your DH hugs and kisses for being such a neat guy! gives this single gal hope that there might yet one out there for me!!
as for a name: the Purple People Eater of course!!!

CorsairMac, you never fail to make me laugh my a** off. I love the Purple people Eater :D :D :D Maybe that should be my new User name.

As for my guy he got kisses, hugs, and then some ;) I truly found one of the great ones. Keep the faith, I know there is someone great out there for you!!!

please, oh please tell me that Corsair's "great" one has a TWIN! :D

ohhhhhh!

I am looking at Orbea as a replacement for my stolen bike. Specifically, I'm looking at the Lobular 100. Anybody have an opinion?

only that I"m in lust with the Orbea Dauphine! other than that ------- sorry no!
LOL
