Used Orbea’s customizer tool to build this. Really happy with the build quality. Also so cool you can lock in your fit with your own crank and handlebar size. Am rocking 165mm cranks for first time and they feel great.
Couldn’t justify +$1500 for deeper wheels but may upgrade to some 50mm Elitewheels.
Weight is a bit heavier than similar models at 20.4lbs but the ride quality is amazing. Very stable and stiff. Flys on rough roads (30mm tires). And holds speed amazingly well.
I’m coming from a 2018 giant TCR Advanced 2 that felt very twitchy and amazing at climbing (only 17lbs) but never felt like it could hold speed, esp in the flats

Frame looks nice! Custom is always fun.
To be fair the handlebar seems weird/huge. But that could be perspective.
