A very stylish seat post clamp.

The frame I don't care for, but that clamp appeals. Each to their own and all that :)

I have that exact same bike and LOVE it. The Orbea Orca Gold frameset rides awesome and I think the bike looks cool as well.

Check the picture again and notice the custom carbon fiber number plate holder on the seatpost. Pretty cool.

very nice design, but if the bike ever goes down and the seat hits the pavement, seatpost that are not round can't rotate and are very likely to break.

Good point.

I can't see how the clamp actually grips the post. What is the tightening mechanism here?

I still like the look of it. Wouldn't buy one though :-)
