Why do you hate messenger bags so much?
i will never,ever buy a messenger bag now.
but if i do i will get it from Bonktown,Steep and Cheap,Chainlove or one of the other otherwise awesome sites.
god i hate messenger bags....
It's a side-brand from Pinarello. Not sure if it's cheaper, more expensive, or just different.
Ahh - some googling - Opera is a Pinarello that uses different tube sets.
Clears that up....
Alright, let's have some of that Dura-Ace 10 speed back up from a month ago!
I thought it said ORBEA at first and then I thought it was a Onda fork and then I realized it was neither. Anyone ever heard of Opera?
It reminded me of the helments the infantry wore on Starship Troopers...

I saw one of those helmets on a show on the sci-fi channel last night. Same helmet only the laser on top.
A laaaaaaaassser!
...make me want to go stand in traffic.
That helmet is unreal.
I'm tempted to get it just because it is so weird.
Ol' Manocchs, just caught you comment.
Glab I didn't pick up the Haxial cause the giant mushroom vagina might have attracted the wrong type. :-)
Not sure if it helps to compare one obscure frameset against another but this fall I test rode a Canova and it felt a lot like a Orbea Opal if stiffness, vibration, and handling characteristics. The frame was rather stiff even under my 190lb frame.
Yes. How about some 92% off carbon or titanium frames?
Nice bike!
Really nice.
Too bad I'm poor.
Dudes, I bought a LAS Haxial and a LAS Squalo because I couldn't decide. I returned the Haxial because it makes you look like a giant mushroom head with a vagina in the center.
The Squalo is way sexier. Very well made and well fitting. I can't wait to hit the mean streets with it.

EnderWill,
I'd like to hear what you have to say about it when you get it. I keep seeing them come up but I'm hesitant to try them myself.
