    Hi,

    I'm buying a new bike this side of Christmas and fairly interested in a Orbea Orca M20 with ultegra 22. I think 2015 bikes are the same and im just curious on feedback from Orbea owners or anyone with knowledge of the brand?

    Thanks

    i race a 2011 orca and love it. One or two of the new model in the club and I like them.
    Not a very common bike which is nice, and I've never had any issues with parts like bb or headset bearings.

    I race the 2015 and love it too. Tbh, I prefer it over the 2016 as I'm not keen on the slanty top tube.

    Integrated seat stem can be a bit arsey to stop sliding but a bit of carbon paste and the technology of a bit of electrical tape sorted that.

    i ride a 2014 orbea Orca "bronze" which is the 3rd tier carbon frame. I always have bike envy due to its weight and its a 60cm frame, but its stiff and rides well. there is a lifetime frame warranty with mine and my LBS has been great when there was an issue with a gear cable guide falling off.
