Same bike as I believe. Orbea kept the old Onix frame going even though they had introduced the new frame due to its popularity. I think its looks better than the new one myself. I haven't ridden the new model but a club mate has just got one as is loving it, he certainly is flying along on it!

I think that the older one looks a lot better too to be honest. I think I'm going to go with the older version (which is selling for £1,099) rather than the new look one.

Good man! I don't think you would be disappointed with either model. My 07 Onix has been a revalation to ride. Apparantly its made in the same mould as the oringinal Orca. It certainly flatters my riding and especially my climbing( at 85kg I wouldn't expect to be at the front of the climbs on our club runs)
