Authentic. Genuine. Committed. Words like this in the bike industry are are tossed around like grains of salt from a shaker. Few companies have the pedigree to back up their marketing copy.
We added Orbea to our product mix back in 2003. The brand screamed out at us. Their bikes were like nothing else we'd seen. A combination of sculpted tubing, buttery smooth welds, and most conspicuous, stunning paint work. Add to this the sight of rabid Basque fans cheering for their beloved Euskatel team on the slopes of the Pyranees in the Tour and well... we were all in.
As we learned more about the Basque company and their bikes, our affection grew. I challenge you to find another bike company with a 170+ year history, whose gorgeous bikes are designed by a woman, in an area of the world where cycling is the national past time. Good luck with that.
Celebrate Orbea's 2015 line up, and specifically, the further refinement of their new flagship road bike, the Orca, Thursday, 5 February, at renowned San Francsico Basque restaurant, Piperade. Join us for drinks and appetizers, and an opportunity to see the new Orca, and other Orbea bikes with representatives from Orbea and Big Swingin' Cycles. See you at Piperade.
