Orbea

I have an Orbea Avant MD 40. It is a really nice bike with mostly 105 components. It is my first carbon fiber framed bike. It is more of a gravel bike then a full-on road bike, except the widest tires that fit are 32's. It is comfortable and a bit on the heavy side. Nothing against the build or the geometry of the bike, however, I am not real fond of the carbon fiber, or the internal cabling. I ride my steel and titanium bike much more than the Orbea.

I am considering selling/trading the bike even though I know I will not get a good return on it. I am certainly not trying to be critical of the bike, or dissuade you from purchasing one. It is just my preferences. As others have stated, buy the bike you like the most and can afford.
