I'll take this off your hands if still available

Now the awful weather has finally passed I managed to get out on her finally today, albeit with the family on their bikes and the dog. Still felt really nice, the 1x is taking some getting used to and had to remove the cassette and freehub when I got back as seemed a bit sticky, all good now...

Yes please

Morning, is headset available yet?

As you can see I'm a massive fan of baby blue (ish)

Well here we go, built and dialled in. Took it out for a spin down the road earlier and just needs a little tweaking but really happy with it. Spec is as follows: Orange P7 Pro frame Fox Talas 32 forks Avid Juicy Carbon brakes Hope Pro 2 hubs with Mavic 321 rims Shimano CS-HG80 cassette...

Made a start on the build yesterday. Bike has been in the airing cupboard for 3 days for the top coat to harden and I just couldn't wait any longer. Gone for the Fox 32 Talas, some wide race Face bars and a Kore short stem. Rest of the build will be a 1x initially with Shimano XT, some...

Well to be fair, this has turned out way beyond where I thought it would have on Saturday. Final head tube decal arrived today (courtesy of dnfive.co.uk) so on went the top coat. Three light layers to start with followed by two top heavy layers. Hardest thing is waiting 5 days now to...

I've never heard of those brands, will look them up. Are they powder based paints like spray.bike?

Couldn't wait, decals are on!!

Someone has butchered an R8 by putting an electric motor on it and sticking it on eBay. In desperate need of rescue I'd say!!! Some people don't know the value of what they have obviously...

Very grateful for your suggestion, what a difference these pads made. Managed to get over to Halfords this morning and get some super fine pads for £4, best money I've spent so far. Managed to get all the powdery paint off and after a bit of research found I need to spray from much closer for...

Thanks, I'll see what I can get tomorrow

Primed the bike yesterday and turned out lovely, only 4 small dribbles which I've corrected with 800 grit sandpaper. Moved on to the base colour today and I'm really disappointed. Purchased some Spray.bike as heard good things about it but I'll be honest ,it's horrendous!! It's about as...

Orange have confirmed to me that the frame ID number places the bike as an Orange P7 Pro from 2003, happy days, really quick response from them too fair play. They've even pointed me in the direction of Indibike who might be able to source year correct decals, so helpful

Finally finished the paint strip down tonight, taken so long, fair play to Orange, that paint was on there good!! Now I've completed the strip the paint fun starts Friday with anti rust primer, but before then..... I've assumed this bike is a 2004 model by looking at the decals and the brake...

I'd be keen, let me know please if and when it's available. Thanks

Headset still for sale? There was no price that I could see.

This strip down is taking ages, glad I'm doing it though as finding small bits of surface rust in the paint. Decided to strip it myself and paint as really enjoyed doing the Rock Lobster. Also decided to take off the brake bosses so it's sleeker and will run disks only now. Still quite a lot...

So.... I've been after a new project for a while now but couldn't decide between a Stumpjumper, Exposif, Zaskar or a P7. Then this really neglected 2004 P7 popped up on Gumtree for a steal at £80, project decided!! At least I think it's the 2004, any ideas? It's in a bad way, rear mech is in...
