About Orbea
Orbea is one of cycling’s oldest names — a Basque co-operative making bikes since 1930, with roots stretching back to 1840. What began as a gunsmith’s workshop in Eibar became one of the most respected framebuilders in professional cycling.
In 1969, employees purchased the company from the Orbea family and formed a co-operative that still runs it today. That worker-ownership shapes everything — from how bikes are designed to how they’re built.
Today Orbea operates its own carbon factory in Portugal and is known globally for the MYO custom paint programme: spec your own colourway at no extra cost, a feature almost no other manufacturer offers at this price point.

Why we stock Orbea
From the shop floorWe chose Orbea because the quality-to-price ratio on the Orca and Avant is genuinely hard to beat. And the MYO programme means customers get something completely personal — a bike nobody else in their club has. That matters to people, and it's something we can actually deliver on.
