Retro Newbie
1995 Orange P7 Nickel 19” full XT for sale to make room for a growing fleet of kids bikes.
I bought this bike in 1995 (mail order from Stif Leeds) paying £1174 and (sadly?) still have the receipt! This bike served me very well (England, Scotland, France, Spain, Utah, Colorado and many more) before making way for a 1999 Specialized M2Sworks.
The bike is for sale complete, rideable in good condition with new components as listed; all others are original. I would recommend that the hub bearings are serviced and ideally rims should be replaced in due course as there are hairline cracks at some spoke holes (for DIY see ‘The Bicycle Wheel’ by Jobst Brandt for rim replacement method using existing spokes). A great start point for a sparkly retro project!
