Thanks to Luna Pro Team’s Chris Mathis, we’ve got pics and a full spec run down on 2011 Mountain Bike World Champion Catharine Pendrel’s 2012 Orbea Alma. Fully built with pedals, computer, etc., it’s weighing in at 20.5 lbs ready to race. Skip past the break for the deets…

A Vetta computer rounds things out. The white Nokon cables get a little gold bling inserted for fun.
Until Shimano jumps on the BB30 bandwagon, such bikes will require a 3rd party adapter. Here, they’ve used custom etched Endura BB adapters.
How’d you’d like to look over and read that while standing in the start gate?
