What year & model is my thrift store find Orbea Orca?
 

I got this at a local thrift store today for $395 - did I get a good deal?
Can anyone tell me what year, model or anything else about it? (first 4 numbers of serial are 2001 - so it's a 2001 model year, right?)
1 thing, besides being made of carbon fiber(!), is that the spokes are flat instead of round - to cut a little more wind for a little more speed?
Thanks, I appreciate any help.

nice find-go over the frame real close,do a tap test.seems a fair price if you ride a small-maybe a womens geometry?

I’m going to guess it’s an 07 or 08 frame. 01 is way too early.

Is that a 9 speed or 10 speed cassette? Hard to tell from the picture. If it’s 9 speed, I’d say 2001 is accurate.

Groupset may be 9 speed but frame is definitely newer than 01. I think that frame design was released in 07 or 08.

EDIT: Wheels are definitely pre-2006./07. Or at least the front wheel is. Around 06/07, Mavic stitched to a carbon mid-section to the front hub.

It’s a 10 sp, I counted the cogs in one of the photos. OP, you may want to replace that rear skewer and the tires ASAP, they look to be in bad shape.

Good luck with your sale.

It is 2009 or 2008 is my guess

Thanks all - what is the skewer?
Thanks again

The heavily corroded thing holding your rear wheel in place.

Great find. Check the rear derailleur hanger for cracks
