This was one of Bike Radar’s “Bike of the Year” picks for 2018.
1. No headset and spacers, but they're available from Orbea and still pretty affordable:

2. It uses the BB386 Evo bottom bracket standard which relies on an 86.5mm bottom bracket shell width and 30mm axle. Orbea has some adapters if you want to use a 24mm axle, though. They're in the part list here: https://www.orbea.com/us-en/gear/spare-parts/k132ttcc
5. No seat collar, but affordable from Orbea: https://www.orbea.com/us-en/gear/spare-parts/k132ttcc
4. I bought this secondhand to build out but decided to do a Colnago build instead. So the only issue I am aware of is the ding/gouge on the seat tube I shared a photo of in the post. It still has original shop stickers and internal cable guides.
Other spare parts: wheelset, groupset, etc can be found on CL or eBay depending on your preferences
The Orbea Orca Aero effortlessly achieves marginal gains, providing you with the performance and aero advantages so many seek. It offers an improved torsional strength due to the optimization of the headtube, bottom bracket and chain-stay joints. This creates a more rigid structure for improved power transmission. The fork has also seen some major improvements, which now see a wider fork opening for reduced airflow pressure achieving a 4 watt drag reduction. Don’t worry though, it’s still UCI legal. The shortened tail enables the use of a flatter tubing, softening the airflow towards the bottles.
Shortened Tail: Enables the use of a flatter tubing, which softens the airflow towards the bottle cages.
Double Radius: Opens up airflow around the tubing profile, with improved airflow over the different angles.
Flattened sides: Reduces friction at the front of the tubing and provides better drag at low speeds.
Freeflow fork: UCI legal aero fork with a wider/more aerodynamic structure.
Rigid Structure:The headtube, bottom bracket and chainstay joints are optimixed for improved torsional strength.
Internal Cable Routing Plus: Ensures the best internal cable guidance that is friction free and easy to install
