Orbea Lobular Pista

Orbea doesn’t really advertise that they do full custom aluminium frames, but they do. I’m not talking about custom spec’ed kits; I’m talking frame geometry. And not just top tube length: full custom geometry!. They also make a track version of their sexy Lobular aluminium road frame. Put the two together and you get HOT HOT HOT.
Check this bike.
I was gonna get the Easton wheels, but they are now pushed back to January. And I already had these Corima wheels.
virtual size 48cm
seat tube actual: 39cm c-t, 35cm c-c
seat angle 75.5 degrees
head angle 73.75degrees
effective top tube: 52cm
chainstay: 38.5cm
bb drop: 4.8cm
frame/fork/headset: 1602gr (real)
Frame is Orbea/Dedacciai aluminium, and the fork is Zeus FCM full carbon
Also: Fizik Arione k:1 carbon saddle, Easton EC90 Zero seatpost, Easton EA90 stem, Easton EC90 Track Ergo bar (carbon), Corima 4-spoke front and rear C+ carbon track disc with Conti Sprinter tubulars, DA crank, Sugino Zen ring, DA cog, Wipperman WeiSstern chain, Yoshida grips, Speedplay Zero stainless pedals.
Weight is about 14.5 lbs with Corima wheels, maybe less. It weighed 15.5 lbs on high-flange DA hubs on clinchers with a front brake.
Ok. Yeah that thing is HOT!
I had (and sold) a Lobular Pista about a year ago. Black with orange and yellow flames, light, stiff, hot. I want it back. Thanks for opening an old wound.
So I’ll see you on the track this spring?
