Just logging a few pics of my recently finished Orange P7 converted to long-distance tourer. Built up from scratch, chemically stripped the frame, polished and then sourced new or old parts from eBay etc. As far as I can see these late 90's steel-framed, rigid MTBs tick every possible box for a...

Currently on eBay, but can do a sale here if you wish. Sparkling shiny, restored to new. £18 posted.

Terrible idea, terrible location. Whether Bakewell residents put pressure on event to move away, or councillors started imposing restrictions and fees, I don't know. But the results is that fewer people will want to be a captive punter in a field in the middle of nowhere for 3 days, me included.

Interested in z-max 2.1 (pic 4) depending on price: PM sent

Re: Amber wall Richey mega bite pics up Tyres look great, but way, way too expensive.

Re: Re: Any luck with the tyres?

Anybody out there have a nice pair of 26" MTB amberwall tyres they can part with - must be in good condition, either 1.75, 1.9 or 2"

Yes, 27.2 mm seatpost, though mine is shimmed (to 25.4 I think). Although it has the original saddle and post from the 96 catalogue so I guess the shim was original spec too.

Taking shape - cranks/rings cleaned - new, shorter stem (Velo Orange), some Shimano rapid fire shifters from eBay.

Bit of a mongrel collection of components, stuff I had left and some choices to make about what worked and what didn't work. Wanted 700c wheels, but it's a 27" fork clearance, so the deep drop brake callipers are a compromise although they are brilliant stoppers. Since it was never going to be a...

My first Saracen, love it so far - gorgeous Racing Green, looks pretty mint. Decided to strip completely and polish. 8 coats of Green Turtle Colour Magic later . . .

Just brought this Saracen Protrax SE home with me, I love the geometry of these 90's hardtails and love the colour too. Didn't know much about Saracens until I googled them after seeing this. Just always associated the name with rather shit bikes sold by Halfords. What a shame they let the name...

Re: Ritchley Z-max amberwall tyres Hi Hurin76 - pm'd you a few days back, did you receive? Paul

Anybody have one (or two?) of these old-school tyres - preferably 1.9, preferably kevlar. Needs to be in fairly good repair.

Re: Decal set Have a look here: http://www.hlloydcycles.com

Don't know who did the paint job. I bought the frame as it is now. Haven't managed to progress much with building it up yet though. Bought some Velo Orange rims, Campag hubs and some other bits and pieces, but still trawling through a parts list on eBay. Been busy with some other bikes also...

Thanks, saw them on a stall at L'eroica last year, at a stupid price, but thought "I need to have those".

Hi, I don't know how original it is to be honest, bought it last year and have just tidied and replaced some components, added the pantographed cranks, new bar tape, new cables, repainted lug windows to match bar tape, and upsized the cassette.

Re: Re: No Jon, I was too busy waiting in the 'sense of perspective' queue. That said, I totally agree that the whole Top Gear production team were obviously too stupid to realise that the sequence was ill-judged. But that's all, stupidity, not a reason for the critics to jump on the morality...
