Look forward to hearing more about how this rides? Was all set on getting a Spesh Diverge, but just saw this on the Orro website, with the newer Ultegra £100 less that the 105 specced Spesh and comes colour correct for me.

Will let you know when I've ridden it more. Right now I am wondering why Orro used a 150mm rear axle, which means I need to get the rear on my second set of wheels rebuilt with a new hub because you can't convert a narrower Hope Pro 4 to 150mm, you have to buy a new hub. Bit annoying.
Fortunately LBS might be able to sort me out with a cheaper than normal hub through a trade contact. Don't get why they didn't use 142mm though as that's the emerging standard.

Took my Orro Terra C for its first proper ride yesterday.
It's got all the mod cons - thru axles, flat mount brakes, 42mm tyre clearance, removable front mech hanger etc. It also has some very tidy cabling and the frame (which is reinforced with something called Sigmatex Innegra on on the insides of the chainstays and fork blades to reduce vibration and strengthen these areas) weighs 1060g.
It was £1400 for F&F or £1800 for a whole bike with 105, Spyres, Fulcrum wheels and 3T finishing kit, so the whole bike was a no brainer and I've transferred my own bits across. That's what you get for buying a bike from i-ride's in house brand.
I need to ride it more but it's been a blast so far - feels fast, light and soaks up the bumps very well.
