Orbea Ora TT bike

markos1963

Here is my TT bike, bought for £780 from Ebay. I added the wheels and saddle. The bike was in a poor state compared to what the seller had claimed. It needed the barrel adjusters drilling out as they had seized and the gears were encrusted with years of grime. Drop bars and Campag Veloce shifters were fitted! but the Profile bars and bar end shifters were included, just needed fitting.

Thanks
Proof indeed that if you're willing to take a risk sometimes you needn't have to have an entry level bike for entry level money.

Very nice Markos. Looks almost comfortable for a TT bike.

Nice, mate... That's a cracking bike for the money, well done.
