The Orbea I can't find info on....

This was a very nice looking Spanish Steel bike (Orbea...Duh!) that I spent months picking out the right combo of parts to build up....
Only to find out that I was too fat to ride this Spanish beauty built with Italian Steel (Columbus Foco)
The bike was very light, and it was very Sexy!!!
But the fist test ride revealed the the tubing spec was more suited to a 150lb (or less) rider!!!

The strange thing about this bike was that it did not have the sloping top tube that Orbea is known for. this was a "Square " bike that had a 55x55 measurement.

Hello


Just discovered this blog, really cool. Found it looking information of this bike, I just acquired a frame almost exactly like this one (color is different, very similar to the 2004 orbea color scheme) , same exact graphics and sizing etc. But I too was unable to find any info on these frames... This was posted 10 years ago ! by any chance did you managed to find some info on it ?

Thanks in advance.
