Orange P7

agree with anthony, mine is a 99 19" and had a very low front end, but added a 100mm fork and it sat it up nicely and handling is fine.

This is interesting - I'm around 6'4" and happily trundle around on a 19"C16 with (very) short travel forks - seems comfy enough, long stem mind.

Also have 21" Konas but they are much less easy to chuck around I find. Experiencing extremely slow build of 21" P7 frame so will be curious to see how that compares with the 19" in comfort terms. Maybe by xmas :roll:

EDITED BIT HERE Something else which affects things - on the C16 I have a long SK8 stem, as is common, which lifts at approx 5/10 degrees I guess. On the Konas all my stems (so far) are flipped so they are almost horizontal rather than angled upwards.
I've always done this for some reason. Perhaps I have an odd arm/leg ratio

[Wont let me post previous picture yet, not enough posts]


That's awesome! I have one almost exactly like that, same colour scheme. I was attempting to find out which year that colour scheme was sold, thought it was 1994 when I bought it but not too sure now. Anyone know? Forks on my bike have a square, welded crown. Not classic like the ones in your picture, don't know if this makes it easier to date?

Let us know the serial number and we should be able to date it.

Great! I'll get back here soon with the number, thanks.
