These ones:

Are these actually a good deal? Anyone have any experience of riding one?
Any other frame bargains out there? Only planning to use it for sportives and general riding - I'm no racer!

For once being a lanky git is actually an advantage as they seem to have plenty of stock.
From Googling, it looks like they might be older stock, but I'm not too worried about that.

So, yes, no, maybe?

no 58cm tho... ๐Ÿ™

Im actually in the hunt for a new frame, thinking of going for the Ribble Gran Fondo Carbon. Seems a pretty sweet deal tbh

Looks good value

I have no experience riding an Opal but Orbea make some really good road bikes (the Orca is particularly lust worthy) so if i needed a frame in that sort of price range i'd be tempted to get.

I think they come with a lifetime warranty too

I was going to order one, but the insurance cheque I was waiting for turned up the day after they were advertised. They sold out of my size that day ๐Ÿ™
Look good for the money to me.

they've bought some other Italian brand and'll be shifting a load of their kit soon so I'd keep an eye out.
