    My Orbea Has Landed!!!!!!!!

    To disable ads, please log-in.

    After much waiting and some not so good dealings with the shop I was working with, my new 2010 Orbea Diva finally made it across the ocean, spent a few nights in Arkansas and eventually made it to the shop I purchased it through last Friday.

    I can say this is one sweet ride. It flies on the flats and climbs like a demon. This was one wedding gift worth waiting for!!!!!!

    Here is the skinny on the bike - it is a 49 cm with a triple Ultegra. It is fitted with Ultegra tubeless rims, Poco Carbon bars and a Selle Italia Diva saddle. DH purchased a Sigma DTS 1606L computer which I also love. I can't wait to come home, jump in my riding clothes and hit the road. It is so smooth and boy do I feel like a queen on this bike.

    I'm still enjoying the sweet ride on my Diva after 2 years. Only riding about once a week this past month, but climbed the hills fine yesterday for 38 miles and 3100 ft. of climbing. One more week of school and then I'll be riding every chance I can.
    Enjoy many miles on your Diva and many years with your DH. My DH and I met biking and will have 22 years married next week.

    Yeah! You got her! Welcome home to your Orbea.

    I love my Orbea. I have an Onix w/Ultegra. Sweet rides for sure.

    Hope the two you have many happy safe miles together.
