  • Exciting Product Line Expansion News — Orbea Bicycles

    City Bike Tampa is now your downtown and South Tampa Orbea dealer! This means you have a new option for sales, service and any old or new warranty issues if you currently own an Orbea.

    One of the things we are very excited for is the My-O feature that Orbea just introduced this year. It’s a way to get a semi-custom bike built with the parts you want. This will let us pick correctly sized parts like stem, bars, seat, crank length and more. Not to mention paint color, wheels choices, bar tape. You instantly will see the price, weight plus additional info. Just share this with us and your dream bike will be a few days away!

    Why not give it a test ride right now: Click to access My-O

    Of course, like our other great bicycle options from Jamis, Bianchi, Pedego, KHS and Eastern, we will also stock an assortment of “out of the box” Orbeas for you to test ride at your convenience.

    We expect our first shipment of Orbea bicycles to hit our sales floor in about a week. Stop in (212 E. Cass Street, Tampa, FL 33602), call the shop (813-225-1777) or email us if you would like information.

    Orbea Carpe H30 -- MSRP $949

    Thank you for choosing City Bike Tampa.
