Here is where I crashed my bike I love

http://forums.teamestrogen.com/showt...=century+crash


The bike in that crash ended up getting new bars and stem, which were made of aluminum and got bent; plus wheel trueing... but carbon frame and cages perfect shape.

My first roadie was alum... felt like a tuning fork to ride on chip and seal... ouch. The carbon roadie just sucks that right up. Versus your body. I also have a carbon bar now, and that does help a little more too.

The Orbea Onix is about one pound heavier than the Diva in the frameset... and about $1K less for that reason. If you are buying... do it now... in 2011 Orbea is making some changes to their lines... believe there is no more Diva... just the Onix.

Good luck in your search.
