It’s a dusty, sunny, 22deg. and we’re in the midst of cyclocross season.
Just like Southern California, Van Island cyclocrossers are keeping their fingers crossed for a bought of Flemmish wind, rain and mud.
Inside the shop, we’re graced with the presence of three Orbea Terras, the flagship carbon cross bike from the Basque company.
The Terra uses the same carbon fibers, layup and detailing as their road race frame, Orca Silver, but with all the contemporary provisions for cross racing: 1 bottle mount, oversized BB, tapered headtube, top-routed cables, and charming good looks.
An Ultegra 6700-equipped Terra, with carbon FSA SL-K crankset and Mavic Ksyrium Equipes will set you back $3499.99.
If you’re the lucky rider looking for a 55 top-tube (Orbea sz. 54), and like a white bike, this demo bike Terra TLT is on sale for an even $3k.
Lastly, Gerry’s personal bike is getting all decked out in a carbon Campy, with Fuclrum wheels and all kinds of Euro-cool. Challenge Fango 32 clinchers for that gumwall look, and a Thomson Masterpiece post round things out.
