It is starting to look like a bike!

Controls fitted to bar. Slightly unusual combo, but functional. Stx-rc shifters (8speed) and suntour xc comp brake levers.

Deore lx pedals going on. Not sure if these are going to stay...the Mrs will decide.
I restored these with some regreasing and brush-painted bits with hammerite.

Suntour xc self-energising rear canti going on.

Thanks for the comments!
Purple was one of the colours available for the clockwork in 92/93 and the decals really finish it off.
I love those levers too. They were the first upgrade part i ever bought for a bike. Very comfortable levers that work well!
More progress soon

You mean the frame or were you referring to one of the parts?
This clockwork frame is made of tange infinity tubing (essentially double-butted chromoly steel with tapering between the butts). Most clockworks of the 90s were made like this except the 94-era cross over period just before they made the c16r....and of course excluding that awful modern 29er thing that they dared stick a clockwork decal on.
The fork is from a later orange p7 and is made of orange's own chromoly steel tube (series 7 or 8 I think).
