Hi All,

This was my 17" framed Orange P7:



This is my little refresh so far:




I have changed over the last week:

Orange F14 rigid forks (thanks to 'Racin'snake')
Orange Lite Stik seat post
Shimano DX pedals
FSA Orbit XLII headset
FSA head spacers
Strange locking handle grips
Continental X-King tyres
Strange QR seat clamp

Things next on list are:
Seat
Re-spray/powder coat front forks

Re:

Sprayed front forks (badly)
Replaced gear shifters as one of mine had failed
Fitted a WTB Rocket seat





Think I am finally ready to see if remember how too ride a bike....

Yep my legs are tiny 28" inside leg...I am only 5ft 5". I am one of the strangest sized bodies you would probably ever see.

The bike setup in the pic still makes the seat 32" from the ground.

Took it for a little ride yesterday (first ride in around 10 years) and it feels good. Need to rebuild confidence though.

Front forks are great and lightens the feel of the bike.
