Local bike shop stocks this brand and I had a nosey on Sunday. Seem to be rather cheap really, although price does vary depending on the components, it never reaches a dizzy height for the Onix model.
This isn't my local shop, but gives a good example of the price: http://www.epic-cycles.co.uk/Orbea_Onix.html
Any views or experiences on this brand? Cycling Plus describes them as 'race ready, entry level'
I do like how they look......

It will take me over a week to just ride the bloody things at this rate.

Lynskey Cooper?....
That too.
The thing that appeals with the TI is that it could be a bike for life or a few years at least were as with the carbon has a shelf life and makes me nervous if I have a fall hit a pot hole etc, the plus side is it looks great I am not going to go into frame stiffness and comfort etc as I feel a lot of that comes down to geoemtry and not purely the materials used.

You should see my hardtail and old 2004 hardrock, it lives up to its name as it has never broken apart from a headset and chain and it weighs as much as a large rock, I dare not put on a scale to see how much it weighs but it gives me a good workout.

I've got a 2010 onix, bought from epic as they were near where I was working at the time. I really like mine, best fitting bike I tried for me, and it goes like the clappers when pushed.
Epic were great as well, they are based in the middle of nowhere in a barn and so the test rides were fantastic.
Plus, I've never seen another on the road so it stands out a lot (helps that mine is the carbon finish with orange decals!)
