The Orbea of Carrie Lester

July 21, 2016

Aussie Carrie Lester finished second at the 2016 Datev Challenge Roth in Germany and here is a closer look at her race ready Orbea Ordu OMP bike with Rotor, Vision, XLab, ISM and Shimano components. Although she is Australian, she had a relatively short trip to Roth from Leysin, Switzerland.

Lester said before the race that she was very happy with her new Orbea.

Like most Orbea Ordu OMP bikes we have seen to date, this one too had many Vision/FSA components.

The ISM PN 1.1 saddle of Lester shows signs of many hours on the bike. The tape near the back however holds the Effetto Mariposa Espresso cartridge under the seat.

Lester rode a Vision Metron 55 up front and a Vision Metron 81 in the back. The tire up front is a 23mm Continental Grand Prix 4000 S II, and in the back a 22mm Continental Competition.

Rotor Flow InPower aero cranks in a 165mm length with 53/39 Rotor Q rings and Look pedals.

The TriRig Omega X brake is one of the most aero options available.

Lester rides Shimano Dura-Ace Di2 components on her Orbea Ordu OMP.

The TriRig Omega X brake can also be found on the rear of this fast bike.

The view from above shows Lester's XLab hydration and GPS BTA setup.

In addition the the XLab BTA bottle Lester also has an XLab Aero TT bottle on the downtube. But when she checked in her bike neither bottle was in place for obvious reasons.
