Just curious about your likes/dislikes and which model you're riding.
Anyone ride an Orbea?

Which models? I have a couple friends on three of them...they have two of the hardtails (The carbon Alma and the 29er alu XC hardtail) and the "Rallon", the Yeti 575 rip-off. They seem to like them quite a bit, though the aluminum frames seem to be of the ultralight XC aluminum cans variety, they once punched a hole through the downtube of one with a rock.
When it comes down to it I think all they offer here are sleek XC hardtails (and that Scalpel rip off). If I needed a race bike, I'd def. consider one.

I am looking at either the Alma or the D'ella right now (I am in the market for a super light XC race hardtail). Although, I would like to replace my jekyll with a new FS rig relatively soon (probably for next season though).
buddy of mine has the carbon HT 29er ( can't remember the name). he has nothing but good things to say about it after a full season of racing on it.
No Mustang?
It's option #2 at this point. I am hoping to have a decision made this week and perhaps even have it by my birthday.No Mustang?
Did ya decide on a bike yet?
I did, I did!
your a tease!
I know 
Can you guess which I chose to go with this?
orbea? cause the mustang is spec'd for an 80mm fork

Of course! It's on order right now
I actually have been rockin' by SS HT out at the Stables over the past week...apparently I like punishment.
Pretty bike, glad to hear you're happy with the ride; mine will ship next Monday
it's brave new world, I don't know much about them, but based on everything I could get my hands on to read and all the people I talked with, the feed back was 100% fantastic. Best of luck; keep the reports coming.

Thanks! I hope you'll enjoy yours as much as I am mine. This bike climbs like a mountain goatPretty bike, glad to hear you're happy with the ride; mine will ship next Monday
