Orange P7 1999 retro lightweight 17"" hardtail ste

Dirt Disciple
If you know your steel hardtails or classic bikes then you'll know this is a beauty. I can't emphasis enough what concourse condition the frame is in - there's a bit of rub to a couple of the decals and that's about it. As a bike it rides beautifully, tracks superbly and the steel frame with raked fork is compliant on the rough stuff. The frame was designed solely for V-brakes; it won't take discs.
I am rather gutted to be selling it but I need the cash for a holiday and this is the 6th bike in my collection. All the parts are good quality and are either new or as good as new, this has had just 10 mile use since being rebuilt.

1999 classic steel Orange P7 frame with V-brake dedicated orange F14 rigid fork 1.125-inch steerer - 17 inch frameset, standard spacing & 68mm BB. 2 x bottle braze ons with new red anodised “tastynutz”, crud catcher braze on also with red nuts. Frameset is Orange series 8 custom mico-buted cromolly with rack/gard eyelets.
Lustrous deep red colour with nice deep laquor.

I am looking for £450(reduced) delivered in the UK, payment by paypal gift or cash on collection (discount for collection) Registered users are welcome to view the bike in Ipswich, Suffolk .

Any questions please ask, if you think the price is too high feel free to let me know but this has lots of high quality new or nearly new components and I am definitely going to be making a loss on this one! PM me if you want my phone number to ask questions.
If I don’t manage to sell as a whole then I may be willing to strip down the parts and sell individually but I would want to have some decent interest in the frameset and wheelset first.
