Is this really an Orange P7?

[Christian]

This is confusing me, the triangles on the bottle mounts, the reinforcing ring at the bottom of the headtube and the rear cable hangar all point to it being a genuine p7... but then it has rack mounts on the seat stay, which I thought you only found on a c16r?

My P7 has differences to the catalogue year (it has a canti hanger despite a 96 date code).
As Ogange bought them batch by batch, there appear to have been detail differences between runs. I suspect it's one of those oddities. The rest looks right.

Re:

Thanks, I agree - a P7 with an oddity rather than a c16. I think I will take a punt and restore it back into a thing of beauty.

Yes it's definitely a 94 model, it's the same as mine.
