Omega road bike model?
Hi everyone
This is my first post..
Just bought this from an old Friend who's had it in storage for 7 years. I have no idea what it is, hoping you can help.
I'm on the understand it's from the early 2000's. He doesn't know much other than it cost a bomb new.
I suspect this bike has a custom paint job as I can't find it online. Carbon forks and seat post, I removed the seat post and it appears metallic inside the frame. So I guess it's aluminium or a carbon aluminium combo like some of the early carbon bikes were.
It's very light and when I tapped the horizonal frame parts it sounds plasticy, so I suspect a combo of materials.
Please view photos below. Interested in hearing your thoughts

Reilly left Enigma a while back and is now independent: https://www.reillycycleworks.com/
Thanks! I will give it a try.
I've been researching and found more info..
Omega frames went bust in the early 2000's, probably around the same time this was produced. The designer and owner Mark Reilly moved to Enigma bikes soon after who helped finish incomplete orders.
I can't tell if he still works there but im pretty certain this was a custom frame, prehaps a one-off (explains why i can't find it anywhere!)
Absolutely lovely! I've always admired Omega framesets.
The frame itself will almost certainly be all aluminium. Thin, butted aluminium tubing has a plasticky sound when tapped.
Try asking about it on Retrobike
