98 Orange P7 midlife crisis restoration

[Mattydoors]

So....owned a P7 in 98 and built it up to a pair of 1st gen Mavic Crossrides, Judy SL’s and full XT and then I flogged it to buy a road bike. Always, always regretted it and last year bought an old P7 frame to make it the way I would have back then if I was a middle aged man with too much money.....and so here it is......got the King headset put in today and so can start putting it all together.

that frame looks tip-top, fresh paint?

Yep, it was orange but my original was red with white decals so I just had to get it redone.

Here she is all done......a garage princess, just summer outings to the pub.
