Collected my 1994/5 Orange P7 from my parent's at the weekend where it's been languishing in the shed for around 25 years.
Originally it had a 130mm quill stem, straight bars, blue anodised U.S.E bar ends and XRAY gripshifts but the casings from those cracked a while ago.
Around 10 years ago I picked up XT levers/shifters, V brakes and some Pace RC35s with the intention of using it again but it never happened. Maybe this time round?!
When I bought the forks they came with a set of rigid legs which I thought I'd use while getting my hands on some replacement elastomers but it turns out they're either for a different model or I'm missing some shims.
At the moment vague plan is to sort the forks and fit some risers and have a fun retro runaround
