>>1336379>Also get a load of this marketing drivel:>>When climbing roads that make you want to quit, having a lightweight bike with you is a sure fire way to keep the motivation high.That reminds me of this text at Orbea page for their Orca bike.
>here are many magnificent bicycles that offer flexibility, a relaxed and neutral posture and a smooth ride. The Orca does not belong to this category. The Orca is designed for the corridor that in February already had 6000 km in its legs and of some modificà nubi generale 500 watts in the middle of winter. The legs of that corridor seem to have been chiselled directly from the mountains. It is the cyclist that you have NEVER managed to beat and who is always willing to set the pace. The Orca is made for hard and rare professionals and men, who have never considered the possibility of premature abandonment. The Orca is for riders who spend so much time talking about watts and training that you would not even think of inviting them to a party, which they would not attend at all: at that time they have to be asleep. The Orca is not made for anyone. Do you want to be fast?Theese bikes are the performance ones, not for average guys and their price is high, up to 8000 euro, I don't think any youngster would buy them/ so probably the dedicated rider between 25-45 yo is just that kind of dude who like that kind of advertisement.
