anyone any experience of the Enol or Aspin , also can't seem to find prices though these two
appear to be the cheaper models . Thought Orbea may be an alternative to Giant /Trek etc.Any other
makes i should look at.I 've got £500-£600 to spend. Sorry should say it's a road/credit card
tourer bike i'm after, cheers.

I looked at Obrea before I bought my steed last year. They are lovely looking bikes but as you say,
hard to find.

Last year Factory Bikes carried the full range on their site but if you check out the link below you
will see that this is now reduced to just 3 models. I'm pretty sure that if they are still being
imported they would be able to get hold of one though.

Woodrup on Kirkstall Road in Leeds also had some in stock last year but their web site is very
basic. woodrupcycles.comwoodrupcycles.comOpen ↗

I bought an orbea in may of last year, no major problems with it so far after 5000km.

the only slight issue i had was with the brakes that they use. they used a spanish make of brake that aren't available in the uk. so you have to buy the complete cartridge.

with regards websites that stock the range, try AW Cycles of berkshire, i think. they allow you to compare the different models etc.

didn't actually buy my bike from there but gave me a good idea of which one i was going to get.
