The bike is nice, but they have clearly cut some corners to keep costs down. For example the crankset is a generic one and not 105 (the front derailleur aort of doesn’t look like 105 either). A rim brake bike like that would be a lot cheaper than that here in Australia.
I saw one for sale in the shop where I go to fix my bike it was so beautiful you could put it in the living room to look at it was really beautiful and I could buy it but I knew carbon wheels were expensive. Later I found out from the Internet that each wheel is $ 1200 and that was it for me. But those are beautiful bikes I just don’t want to pay that kind of money for new wheels. Price was US $ 800.
I mean when you are in business selling something for that long time you know their product is really good and people want it and buy it. Orbea knows bike mechanics and their designs are just beautiful.

Seller did not know the year of the bike.
This would be around $750-850usd in my market
600-700 USD in my area
