That’s one of the best P7’s I’ve seen! Just finished mine from the same era

This is a cracker. Nice job. One question, looks like you‘ve got XTR M950 levers with Canti brakes. Works ok? Must do I guess. Great bike mate..

Well spotted. To be honest, it works but it’s not ideal. I was planning on swapping out the Cantis at some point. I’m thinking of putting it up for sale so maybe the next owner will.

Hi all,

Thought I’d share my Orange P7 with you all. I’ve just finished bringing it back to life, I’m just waiting for the elastomers to arrive so I can rebuild the fork and it’ll be good to go.

I’m an absolute bike nut and wanted something I could use day to day for short trips instead of jumping in the car. The plan was to get something old thinking that it would still be there if I locked it up outside the shops but now I’ve finished it, it looks a bit too good. Oh well, might need to look for another project as a shopper now.

Cheers, JD.

I think you might need a +1.
What a stunning bike, beautiful from every angle. In fact if you get twelve photos and make a calendar I’ll buy one
