Karma Orange P7 frame + RST forks

[Sundayjumper]

I picked this up today - https://www.retrobike.co.uk/threads/southampton-yeti-content.431722 - unashamedly to strip it and put the bits on the Burley Samba I'm trying to finish.

So because I'm such a lovely, I figured I'd karma the frame & forks on here *if you come and collect them* from Sandhurst, Berks. I really CBA wrapping them up etc.

19.5" c-c
22.75" top tube
Takes a 1" headset (not included)
And a 29.8mm seat pin (also not included)

I always thought of RST as junk but these forks feel quite nicely made. They move up and down smoothly but seem to have no spring or damping in them. 1" threaded steerer, 175mm long.

Would you be interested in selling the forks? BTW I think that frame could be an Orange Clockwork or Prestige!!!

Hmm, you could be right ! I've been Googling and it looks very much like a P7. The black paint is flaking off and is shiny underneath - nickel ? The frame number is A511001317 if that helps. I'm sure an Orange expert will be along shortly

Which apparently means November 1995.

And on my kitchen scales the totally bare frame weighs 2140g.

Could well be a P7. Does it have diamond shapes on the bottle mounts?

 

[Sundayjumper]

Yep - pic attached. And it also has crud catcher bosses under the down tube.

I would say definitely a P7, nice bit of karma there.
Nice one!

Cool ! I have amended the title.

If no one else is coming forward I would like to pick this up to have a look at the frame to compare to the ARP frame I have just picked up. I work in Farnham but live in Oxford so can collect early before work or after work

Awesome Karma!
