For her birthday I got her a used Orbea Orca frame and fork set. She picked out a Campagnolo Chorus component set and we built it from there. This fall she had the rod and some screws taken out of her leg from an old MX accident, so this was kind of her recovery project. She got to ride it once, the next day it snowed twelve inches! Oh well it's what we expected.

That is an awesome set up especially if it is the more recent frame geometry.

Thanks! I'm not sure what year the frame is, but it is only a few years old. She is new to road biking and wanted to build up her first "real" road bike.

Yup, good stuff. Campy Chorus is a great grouppo. Orca is a solid nice frame.
