Orbea? Buh?

Another brand with a similar - in my mind - low profile market position to Orbea is Merida.

Seems they are Taiwanese, but look like proper bikes and they are building the brand with team sponsorship.

There are quite a few dealers in my area in the North East.

Shame about the front fork failure recall notice on the home page of the website, hardly inspires confidence.

Do you want to clarify that..? I have a Specialized S-Works frame - made in Taiwan by Merida.

Merida mountain bikes seem very expensive for what they are. I'm not sure how the road bikes compare.

Aren't Merida one of the largest bike manufacturers in the world?

They are - and they own around 33% of Specialized...
