Hi, I am just about to make the step up to my first road bike having been a cheapskate and hammered my Dawes hybrid into the ground for too long. Having made a fairly thorough search I have picked out the Orbea Aqua TSR 2012 as the stand out bike for my price bracket -£500-£700
I am pretty green on road bike specs though- does anyone have any experiences of Orbeas?
this is the spec:
Fork: Orbea Carbon
Headset: Semiintegrated 1 1/8
Rear Hub: Orbea R1800
Front Hub: Orbea R1800
Spokes: Orbea R1800
Rims: Orbea R1800
Tyres: Vitoria Zafiro 700x23
Shift Levers: Shimano Sora
Front Derailleur: Shimano Sora
Rear Derailleur: Shimano Sora
Cassette: Shimano Sora 12-27 10spd
Chain: Shimano HG53
Crankset: Shimano Sora 34x50 CT
Seat post: Orbea Alu
Saddle: Selle Italia X1 Flow
Handlebar: Orbea Road
Stem: Orbea Alu
Brakes: Orbea Alu
Brake Levers: Shimano Sora
Pedals:
Orbea Road Alu
Would really appreciate any advice before I throw my (very limited) funds at a dodgy bike,
Cheers
