2011 ORBEA AQUA DAMA 49cm WOMEN'S ROAD RACE BIKE ON SALE NOW !

OK ladies, I'm pretty picky about bike style, color, model etc. This is the best looking bike on our showroom right now, it is brand new, never ridden. First of all it's an Orbea so it's hand painted in Spain, it has 9spd. Shimano Tiagra STI drive train with compact double crank set, carbon fork, aluminum frame with carbon seat post. It's got women's geometry, women's seat and women's paint job! This baby is all girl all the time and it sold for $1300 in 2011 but it's going on sale now for $1150 ! It kind of reminds me of an old song I used to know..."It was the last time that I saw her...baby blue" !
