- Whilst in San Sebastian, Orbea the Spanish bike manufacturer invited us around the factory where they custom paint every single bike by hand. This was awesome!

It's so dark because Spain is on the same line of longitude as the UK, or even slightly further West, and should therefore be on the same time as the UK. To fit in with European time it was decided long ago that they should be on CET to make international trade easier.
I was toying with buying an Orbea for my last bike, if I'd known they were a workers' cooperative I'd have bought it. Absolutely sick bikes.
yeah the cooperative is pretty cool.
@@Cameron_Jeffers Waiting my 5th Orbea bike (LAUFEY 27+ H30 2019)
Spain changed to central european time to be in line with nazi Germany thanks to the dictator Francisco Franco
Very impressive setup they have there. Looks like they very much have the customer in mind. A great business model. Thanks for the insight Cam.
cheers Ian. Was a really cool insight.
A cooperative would be such a great model for a bike company. with every employer actually caring about the end product!
Exactly. Every employee we saw working looked genuinely happy. Looks like a great business model
Cam, that was amazing to see inside and behind the scenes of Orbea Bicycles. Thx for bringing us along for the Journey.
thanks mate
I just received my 2021 Orca Omx and absolutely love it! The quality is just off the charts. Great company! Thanks for the tour
Wow! That was such a great insight into the massive human involvement into making & personalising the Orbea bikes. Thanks.
Thanks Derek
Nice tour. Looks like they know what they're doing. Like the new titles and fonts as well by the way. Makes the videos even more pro. Keep 'em coming.
thanks rich mate
Nice to see inside the factory, bought an Orbea Mountain Bike this week, looking forward to getting delivery!
I bought a used Orbea Lobular team Euskaltel frame and built it up with Dura Ace 7800. It is the definition of "bike porn". I always wanted a bike that was just like the ones ridden in the Tour de France. This is very cool. I'm very glad that Orbea is a Co-Op and that the workers have a stake in the business. Thank you.
Just ordered my first Orbea...an Orca OMX with custom MyO paint...not cheap (tho' depends what you're comparing it to) and I was a bit nervous....watching this has made me much more confident about my choice! Looks like a great company with a great spirit and quality processes. Nice vid, thanks!
This was great, Cam. More of this please
Thank you Mr. H
@@Cameron_Jeffers you're welcome!
I’m currently looking at a new bike and I had seen a post on LinkedIn about Orbea been a Co-Op so that’s what I’m going to buy. It was great to see this video. Thank you.
Superb vlog cam that factory is out of this world 👌🚴♂️ keep it going & great 👍 to see your hip is on the mend
Thanks Mikey!
Very interesting Cam...this is good showing different aspects of the sport.
Cheers Paul. Thanks for watching mate
Cheers Paul. Thanks for watching mate

Great video today Cam!
Thanks Mike
nice work great edit cool tour. Thx
Thanks Timothy
If you saw a purple Orbea gain in XS with pink logo it was mine !!!! Looking forward to beating my husband up the hills when it arrives😜 🙋🏻♀️🚲
Yeah, great video. My mate bought an off-road electric bike from Orbea. Had it for a year, it's been off the road and in the workshop for the last nine months with a battery problem.
Bought an Orbea Vector 30 hybryd in night black over the weekend , the worse paint job ive ever seen on a bike. Already got chips on the paintwork and only went on paths ! Diabolical
Just bought an Orbea Rise Hydro. Never new anything about Orbea and always thought the best frames came from Taiwan. Wow the quality of my Rise is incredible. How they smooth out the weld spots is awesome!
Quite interesting isn't it walking around the factory, I work at Suunto always love walking around the assembly floor in the factory.
yeah it's cool!
Great vid great insight
cheers mate
Nice vid! Love that it’s a cooperative company.
yeah me too. Big respect for that
Any idea how big those shipping boxes are? Need a reference for shipping to asia
hope your having fun in calpe!!
always
I have an orbea and absolute love IT
👊
Love San Sebastian went there years ago. My DNA test has me from basque country on my dad side. Gotta love Orbea
Besides painting, what do they actually make? I see assemblers but what do they actually fabricate?
“So nothing in Asia?” “Just the frames.” 🤣
Wonder if any manufacturers make their bikes in Europe, I think you can get a custom carbon frame from Cipollini on their website ? like you can a steel frame from a traditional frame builder.
If the frames weren't made in Asia they wouldn't be affordable.
Orbea claimed that the frameset is weaved and made in Taiwan (possibly from Giant’s factory) can any Orbea bike owner confirm this?
@@G5performance i think is from merida factory, part owner of specialized
@@plantfuelled8912 the materials for a frameset (carbon + "glue") cost around 70 euros per set. it's only made in asia, because people are paid almost close to nothing
Great video 👍👍
Thanks Kris
That was really cool...👊
Thanks Warren
What a quality company...👍
👌
My O St. Piran coming soon? I was trying to spot an argyle colorway! lol. Probably not but they really are great bikes.
we're still on colnagos for the foreseeable future!! :)
theres a little country just to the left of Spain called Portugal,,,, it has an abundance of Blue sky. lol
Nice, video ! So, Is it true that Orbea's frames come from Asia?
I ask and I shall recieve! Great one :)
Thank you Liam
Thought the Orca was hand built in Spain still?
The red and black bike is mine 😃😃😃, I can’t believe I’ve seen it before unboxing it.....lol just kidding. Awesome video, very insightful. I’m impressed with orbea
😂
How many bikes do they make annually
I have an Orca Aero on order. A reassuring video
jealous.
Who knows, you may well have seen my bike being assembled. Can't wait to take delivery@@Cameron_Jeffers
Well that was better than gcn's effort 👌
Haha thanks Lee
Kind of feel bad for Tim. He travels all the way down to Spain from cold, dark and rainy England only to be met with the exact same weather.
Feelsbadman
Cool 🤗
I realise that the factory tour is a bit of a cliche, but that one was well done...and I think Orbea would be happy. FWIW the Basque's have a long history of using a co-operative business model, and a pom, Robert Owen, is regarded as the originator of the concept.
Great fact!
Yes really rate the cooperative business model.

0:26 song ? pls :)
I want one!
Get one!
These guys are wetter than the weather.
If I was in the market for a new bike, Orbea would have moved right up that list.
The guys from Orbea were super friendly too
Cam, please bring back the other song at the end of the vlogs, otherwise keep up the great work!
Now I want a new bike
grandiose cette usine ? dommage je n ai pas trouvé la traduction en français j on suit quand même la visite merci
It was a nice factory
Co-ops rule. My next bike is an Orbea.
Wow really impressed by Orbea, I didn't know anything about this customisation which is very cool indeed and I will defo look at these babies when I replace mine later in the year, but Tim... really did you have to use your phone when this guy was talking to you, it's very rude.
Tim was using the calculator to try and calculate the amount of combinations.
@@Cameron_Jeffers Fair enough... my apologies to Tim.
☝
I Was, but don't in Love with Orbea anymore, the steerer tube on my Orbea Ordu gets broken spontaneously, after appr. 9.000 km, inbetween traffic, lot of luck saves me.
OK, the bike was several years old, but in a very best shape - well maintained, but all parts original, tires, chain, brakepads.
I'd rode the Bike only on sunny sundays, only steets, quick up to 60 kmh on flat streets, even faster on roads downwards here in the Taunus-Hills.
I'm happy beeing still alive, not injured, but steerer tube braking without any kind of crash or impact should never should happen.
The Bike was original from the dealer. Now they told me I should have mounted the Fork wrong.
Now I'm not amused, the bike is dead. Just hazardous waste. Unfortunately.
Check out all carbon parts every 500 Km for smallest scratches or fissures !

They didn't show the warranty department!
2nd while zwifting
Are the frames made in Taiwan? That would be good. Or are they from China?
Orbea Frames are made in Asia, therefore it is Made in Asia, yet they put a ‘Made in Spain’ sticker on the down tube. Lol. Santa Cruz does not put made in USA even though it’s assembled in California...They rightfully say Made in China for the Carbon Bikes, same with Ibis.
краска с Carpe облазиет
"it's like Scotland", aye looks like it.
😂
Great vid ! A seriously interesting insight to the Orbea factory ! .... yu mate Tim is annoying.
Hey be nice!
Cam i have the worst flu ever. Cant train and stuck in my bed shivering on antibiotics for the last 2 days
get well soon bro!!
😮 can i have one ☝️?????
Amazing
there you go!
🤭🤭
Very courteous of Orbea to grant you their time for such a personal tour of their factory..... pity you didn’t extend the same courtesy to your tour guide while he was answering your questions .... instead of arsing around on your phone at 08:30 .... 👎🏻
missing a real video from china or taiwan
I bought an orbea rise 3 months ago, 1 month ago the seat stay snapped whilst on a footpath. Orbea aren’t honouring their lifetime warranty, and it appears I have no options. They should stick to guns, set of crooks
First ! ;)
all i heard is that Orbea do NOT make their own frames, dissapointed
Worst filming ever, instead of fixating the camera on the dude who talking and pointing at things try panning and focusing on what he’s talking about instead of fixating on the talker! Made me feel uncomfortable lol
Could be a nice video, but which idiot operates the camera? How hard can it be to hold a camera steady?
It’s impossible to watch.
Orbea Frames: More Engineering Ballcocks from Spain
Telling the truth about Orbea frames is now called hatespeach by Orbea and CZcams in Spain
Absolute rubbish! Well presented here but in reality! My MYO wild fs came out horrible! They omitted components I’ve ordered and paint was like something a child would spray with a tin can! Really, really poor show from Orbea. I will publish a vide about this poor standard!!
Orbea Frames: More Engineering Ballcocks from Spain
Telling the truth about Orbea frames is called hatespeach by Orbea and CZcams in Spain..
In this video Orbea say some interesting things.
1. They don't produce there frames themselves. -
-AD1: So they shop the marked of frame producers and get them to make an offer on there drawings and nummer of bikes they expect to sell.
2. They don't do any quality control in the frame factory.
AD 2: Frame factories can earn that money any way they want. Even the cheapest way that they want.
3. They say that they only do quality control on prototypes, first production and on the marked (what does that last thing even meen?).
AD 3: No, no, no you should messure every bottom bracket on every single frame you get home. Orbea ,you don't have any quality control.
Orbea don't say that every bottom barcket gets testet for being centeret, right size etc.
Not god. Not good at all.
