I've decided my Orange is just too small for me now but having had it for 20 years, its served me well, but I'm just not using it and haven't for a while so it needs to go. I've just serviced the bike throughout, so its ready to ride once again.

Spec as follows:
18" Orange P7 Prestige frame in purple - some paint chips and scratches, but all original. Some of the stickers are wearing off of course!
Original Orange stem and bars with Onza bar ends (missing one bung)
XT thumbshifters (7 speed) - new cables throughout
Deore LX headset (if memory serves) and I'll throw in some headset spanners.
Pace RC35 forks. The elastamers were replaced a few years back, but they're a bit soft IMHO. Missing the bungs underneath.
Brakes... not sure! Deore if memory serves... All cables and brake pads have just been replaced.
Hope hubs (still running as smooth as silk), with Xlite skewers, double butted spokes and red and blue alloy nipples and Mavic rims mounted with orange Michelin wildgripper tyres
Deore XT rear derailleur
Deore LX front derailleur with Middleburn chain ring
Deore LX bottom bracket (again, if memory serves)
A pair of mediocre pedals on it at the moment, but have a pair of Crank Bros Mallets which I'll sell if required.

This was over £1500 of bike 20 years ago and is still pretty and pretty unique. Weighing in around 25lbs, it still holds its own

Looking for around the £250 price, but happy to consider offers etc.

PS: the bike is currently in Istanbul, but I'll bring it back to the UK on the 25th May.

lol you just can't help yourself when it comes to citrus can you :LOL:


Nope, I can't ( :oops: ) but someone beat me to it with out posting on the thread :roll: Think I'm second in line.


Wouldn't say your underselling it L but it has some very nice parts so the vultures will circle ;)
 
update

Ok, lots of interest in this bike (not surprising really), but the bike is staying in Istanbul until the 25th May when I'll bring it back. I will need to hand over the bike/collect the cash that weekend before I fly out again. I'll be between Heathrow and Birmingham during those dates, so can be pretty flexible when it comes to collection, but I won't be able to post/courier it.

Cordurouyboy got in first with a PM, but to be fair, he also expressed an interest in it about a year ago when I was deciding what to do with it back then! :) I've PM'd him asking for his contact details but not had a response yet. If I've not heard by the 25th, then brocklander gets a shot, then baca. Worst case scenario, I won't bring the bike back with me!

Anyone else interested (inc. Brocklander and Baca), please PM me your telephone numbers so I can make contact when I arrive in the UK if need be!

Cheers

Ellis
