I am so excited I just have to share.  My husband surprised me today with a new bike. 2010 Orbea Onix Dama T105, this is my first road bike.  I am scared that its to much bike and will be so afraid of crashing the carbon frame, but after test riding several bikes it came down to either a 2010 specialized dolce comp or the orbea.  The bike shops in our area have 40% off 2010 models and he just not pass up the deal on the orbea. I would have been happy with either one.  Thanks for listing just had to share.

Sounds great!  Have fun, but be sure it's fitted correctly (I'm sure it was if it came from a good bike shop).

 Thanks everyone, yes I have been fitted, I was fitted for both bikes and got to ride both bikes several miles before he bought the Orbea.  I will take it back to them for another adjust once we put the pedals on, I have been clipping into our spin bike for months so we will see trying to decide if I should learn how to shift correctly first or clip in or just go for it.  

I plan on just riding with my husband until spring, so that he can help me learn, to shift correctly thats my biggest fear, then in the spring a women's group ride starts up here, so I hope to be good enough to do that.  After I  finish my running goals, I maybe up for a  tri but not sure.  But I am getting the bug.

I thought someone on the board talked about orbea bikes.  Glad to know you like it, guess I am the odd person out in my family I now own an Elecrtra Townie 8 which I love to, I dont think I will ever give up my cruiser and now the Orbea. My husband is a Specialized guy he have 4 of them, so it was a great surprise to me when he came home with the Orbea.  I am just so happy he picked the one I really wanted. But I would have been happy with the specialized.
