Hey!
Soo shortly i am looking for a roadbike to get into triathlon. I own a gravel bike but want to get a roadbike, prefferebly with electric shifters.
I recently found this Orbea Orca from 2023, equipt with Sram Rival AXS, used for 1700 euros.
The buyer says he bought the bike 2023, has ridden 500 km since, done service by himself every year (bled brakes etc).
The bike comes without padels or saddle, (he says high end carbon saddle and padels which i have to pay extra for).
Is the bike worth it and fit to train for triathlon? I read online that it is a climbing machine, but i guess that means a little more relaxed race fit. I can always make it more aggresive fitting in the bikefit, right?
My budget is around 2000 euros. I find the bike new online for 2600 euros, with 105di2, and 2000 with oridnary 105. Is it still worth to take the used one, if it is in good kondition?
Thank you for your advice!

Yes these are climbing machines so not the best suited for aero. It will go on the flats as well, but you might want to get a more aero bike when spending so much.
