It's easy. Try them both, choose the one you prefer (even if it's just down to the colours).

I would prefer the Orbea, they are not mass produced in Taiwan but as Simon said get the one that fits you better or has the nicest colours.

Jon I have has my Orbea Fleche since Xmas enjoy riding it immensely and YES it is a bit different to the usual.

Paid £425 for mine, the 2009 Models should be due soon though.

I have had an Orbea Asphalt for over a year, and, personally, I think it's a great bike.
As pointed out by gabriel959 they're not from Taiwan, so are a little unusual on the road.
I'm about to buy an Orbea Orca, but keep the old Asphalt as a winter bike, with maybe a few upgrades.

thanks for the advice still undecided the scr is 80quid cheaper though

gabriel959

are you buying it through a cycle to work scheme or not?

jonboy22

jonboy22

Got my Orbea Fleche a couple of months ago, so far I'm very pleased with it and I've done just over 500miles on it, so it can't be too bad.

Paid £449 for mine...
