Hi All,
I have accidently ventured into mountain bike (I mean the real thing, with big rocks and dangerous trails etc) and although the Mrs is not too happy , I am beginning to enjoy it.
Does anyone know much about Orbea mountain bikes. Theres one on Ebay http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll ... :IT&ih=018
but for the life of me cannot seem to find any information online about this.
Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

That's a great bike and the buy it now price is good. It's a small frame though, so you'd better go and see/ride it before placing a bid.
I think he's mad for selling it - he should just buy a bigger frame and swap all the stuff across.
Cheers,
Graeme

Like you, I couldn't find anything about an Orbea Zenit, but there's plenty about Orbea's mtb range at www.orbea.com.au.
They're damn fine bikes - Julian Absalom rides one after all.

Thanks guys. I have asked him for his location so I can see it but I might not get to it cause there is only 2 days left. Its a small and he is 175cm and the reason he is selling is its just too small. Well, I'm 174 so will have a similar problem. Thats why I need to see it first.
Thanks again.

It's going to be too small for you. Put a bid of $1000 on it and get a good frame from somewhere - you'll be in front and have well kitted out bike.
