I just started to be really into cycling, joined the forums today in hopes of building my own Orca and this is what I see. I am happy.

I've learned alot just by looking at this post, looking forward to the build!

Excellent!

For some reason I was expecting more of a budget build but this is going to be nice.

The balance between aesthetics, weight and RELIABILITY

It is possible to save more weight with narrow tubulars, components of dubious resistance, etc but I wanted to do something different. Ps: when have you seen a sub5 orbea? Hehe

I'm taking notes...:).
Curious about those Trickstuff hoses.
Also curious about the braking of KCNC Razor rotors.
Send some feedback when you get a few rides from that feather build.

Be careful with that headset/steerer expander, I had one in the past and they are nasty for carbon steerers.
