Context: Looking for a road bike to start exercising more and alternating with the gym.
I’m comfortable spending max. 350€ overall – bike + maintenance needed.
I am going to see the bike in person next Wednesday but would like to know opinions if this is a good deal for 250€ (maybe can negotiate a bit lower depending on what I see in the comments).
What questions should I ask the seller?
Should I pay attention to something in more detail?
I’m guessing the bike needs tires at least…
Thanks to whoever has the time to help 🙂

Yep, that’ll do just fine.
Glad to see you’ve got a realistic outlook on needing to spend a bit getting things dialed in (tires, brake pads, etc. as needed)
Make sure it’s the proper size for you, referring to the general charts available from Orbea (and the internet in general.)
Oh, and get a pair of bib shorts (I like “the black bibs”) to avoid a whole round of “why is this seat so uncomfortable!?” drama. 😉
