Hi. My friend is wanting to buy a 2004 Orbea Lobular with full dura ace and ksyrium SL wheelset (also carbon fiber chainstay, seatstay, and handlebars) for $699. I looked at Orbea's website and they have a Lobular Cross. I am guessing the 2004 is a Cross too, and Cross is meant for cyclocross.

Is it a good bike? Is it a good price?

Can't beat it for that price. Depending on the condition that is... Be careful of bikes raced as they could be pretty heavily abused.

Is it a cross bike? There is a lobular, lobular cross, and lobular pista.
