Looking for any guidance from the community. What year is this Orbea Onix frame. The original fork has been changed to a full carbon fork and steer tube vs carbon/alum steer. Below are all the numbers on the frame including pictures.

I already reached out to Orbea but have not heard back from anybody.

Thank you in-advance for your help...

I heard back from Orbea; I was told they can usually identify an Orbea bike its bar code (the one that starts with a "010"), but in this case, the bike's bar code is an older code that does not appear in our database. In cases likes this, they suggest doing a Google search to find a bike that looks like mine and noted Orbea slightly changes the paint scheme from year to year. They also suggested starting with 2011 Orbea catalog or earlier.

In the 2011 catalog my paint scheme was not offered. I found a 2010 catalog written in Spanish with my paint scheme "ANTARCTICA". However the 2010 Onix was made with a few different model/options all offering the Antarctica paint scheme;

TDR - Shimano Dura-Ace
TLT - Shimano Ultegra
T105 - Shimano 105
TTG - Shimano Tiagra
TCN - Campagnolo

I guess I'll never now what model/option my frame started its life as, but I now know its a 2010 frame.
