Orbea Avant frame

Koobcam · 2014-08-10 15:58:05

I saw someone today at the Tour of Kildare with a pretty genius piece of kit-an Orbea avant (think that's what it was anyway, googled it later at home) with normal rim brakes, but also with eylets for installing disc calipers. Nice looking bike too. Has anyone seen these bikes on sale anywhere-I'd be really interested in…

They are the sportif / disc "race" version of the orca.

I have an (albeit 2011) orca and it's a great bike. There are a few places that do them now, I got mine in Staggs in Lucan
