I’ve had an Alma for a few years and love it. Simple as that. It’s one of the few brands that I’d buy into, next road bike will be an Orbea and I can’t see any reason that my next mtb won’t be another Orbea. Very popular in Spain, oh yes Shelock, and quite popular with Absalon.
Where are you at stunned, just in case I have any frame issues in the future?
EDIT:
Lifetime frame warranty. (SC 2 year).
I could point you in the direction of people who’ve had problems with Orbea and the lifetime warranty. I think we all know that people are more vocal when negative news is on offer and less forthcoming when it’s positive. Positives and negatives for all framebuilders.
