My father has a 2004 or 2005 Orbea which he spent between 4-5k on. I am not sure on the details from that since it is at my father's house. He has offered to sell it to me. Im not sure what his price will be yet but I am saving up for a 2010 Gary Fisher Cronus right now. Is this a no brainer since it is an Orbea at that price range? Or is the newer technology in the Cronus worth holding off on the Orbea for? Opinions? Ill have a pic of the Orbea by next week if it is needed for a final opinion.
Orbea makes a great frame and imo the technology has not developed that much.The components a few years back work as well as the newer versions. This is of course outside of electronic shifters and such. I am sure his Orbea has good stuff on it.
