Hey out there, is it true that all road bike frames that Orbea produce are hand made in Spain, or are some manufactured overseas. Cheers Terry
Orbea frames hand built in Spain?
- Thread starter terry potter
- Start date
Only going on what I see on the Tour De France coverage on TV....
I would imagine Orbea is NOT made in Spain but rather somewhere in the Basque region..they might take offence at being called a Spanish brand.
The correct answer will be supplied by somebody from that part of the world.

and a lot of Basques get narked if you say they are not spanish .
Orbea , BH , Conor are made in Spain , though not all are hand made , the BH factory at vitoria is very modern and huge and now conor are moving into road bikes after years of making some quite adequite mtb frames .
as for kuips : this is a newcomer to the market from the accessories group spuik and I have no idea where it´s made or who by .
all the top brands hand make their upper leval frames in spain ( did I mention mendiz / kenium in the list above ? )
just check out their websites but it helps to speak spanish for some of them - computer translations are weird .

I don´t need that service , thank you - though trying to discribe tech stuff over the phone can be interesting .
forgot to mention Monty : more famous for trials and bmx bikes they have now moved into the mtb market - worth a look .
should mention the that BH always seems to undercut the prices of similar products here in spain while providing a product as good , if not better , than the competition but they are not a " sexy " brand ( eg ali frame carbon fork campy mirage 9 with fsa cranks 850 € , looks real nice )
