Tom Zirbel’s Orbea Orca
Boulder, CO resident Tom Zirbel won the 2013 US Pro TT Championships today on an Orbea Orca road bike set up with aero bars. This 60cm road frame fits this lanky rider best and it did not seem to hold him up. As far as we noticed everybody else was on TT bikes.
We grabbed the bike right after he crossed the finish line.
It is indeed an Orbea Orca road frame.
