Hi,
someone has offered me an Orbea Orca M30 bike. I’m relatively inexperienced when it comes to buying (second-hand) bikes, so I wanted to ask for some advice. Up to now I have mainly ridden gravel bikes. But I would like to do more road riding and am looking for a real road bike. The Orbea could be suitable.
Here are some photos: [The Bike](https://nx18901.your-storageshare.de/s/tHRQxfLSE49pGoD), [Minor Scratch 1](https://nx18901.your-storageshare.de/index.php/f/1711115), [Minor Scratch 2](https://nx18901.your-storageshare.de/index.php/f/1711118), [Minor Scratch 3](https://nx18901.your-storageshare.de/s/4ZxMonH7pnsSLED)
The bike was manufactured in 2018. The seller bought it new in 2019. He says: “It’s in very good to good condition. The drivetrain was replaced last year”. It has rim brakes and a Shimano 105 groupset. He wants 750 euros for the bike.
I spoke to the seller and he says there have been no crashes. The bike has a few small scratches. I’m not sure if the carbon frame has taken any of it.
What should I consider when buying? Is it a good bargain or a risky gamble? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks very much!
