I’m considering a new road bike for training and racing over lumpy central Texas terrain. It’s time to move to discs. On my radar are the Tarmac, Cervelo S3, wait for a new Canyon, or the tantalizing new Orbea Orca OMX. The limiter is that I can only test ride the Tarmac.

Orbea, in particular, is a rare beast (at least around here). I’m curious about experiences you may have had with their road bikes. I need a dependable machine but if I’m paying the cost of any of these modern bikes, I also want to eke out every bit of free speed AND comfort that I can.

Your thoughts?
