Orbea Onix 2009?

[gilbos]

Hi Chris,

Came across this thread while looking for info on the Orbea Onix.

I've been looking for a new bike for while and have narrowed it down to the Orbea or a Focus Cayo.

I'm also around the 16st mark and 6' 2", what size frame do you have? and what do think of the ride? Is there much flex?

Cheers, Chris

I'm 6' 3" and just under 16st (wahey ). The frame is a large (63cm) size and no - I've noticed very little flex at all - even when 'powering' up hills or sprinting. It feels very nice and tight but compliant over rough tarmac.

In short - I'm well happy with it

yes they do, you can go on there website and build a bike then take it to you LBS that stocks Orbeas and then can get it for you its sooooo kl.

i might do it when i go and get a TT bike

That's correct! I've just collected an Orbea Artea tourer (and it looks much better than in the pics) from my lbs which took 3 weeks to arrive from ordering to delivery. Also my sis had an Enol custom built with the gears and colour she wanted. Unfortunately the prices have taken a bit of a hike this year but I reckon they're well worth it.
