What diameter is the headtube? If it takes a 1 1/8" headset then it's post-98. Looks exactly like my '98 P7, apart from the paintwork. It has an odd-sized seatpost, 29.6mm I think. These are great frames, rode one for years, and the 1 1/8" headtube makes them much more versatile than previous versions.
Yep, it's 1 1/8". Which I must admit I'm quite happy about. So not as retro as it looked at first sight but still pretty useful. I suppose it could be either a C16 or an anniversary Clockwork - but seems from what you guys are saying that there ain't a lot in it in terms of what it will do/how it will ride.
Actually now I know the era I'm going to go for a "whatever works" build - some bits will probably be older, some newer, I'll just go for a mix of what I have and what I like, and let it evolve once I've started riding.
The graphics are a bit hit and miss to be honest (some are peeling) as is the paint (some damage in transit unfortunately) but that's fine by me as it's going to be ridden...
...anyway I'm off down the workshop in a bit so I'll start putting some bits on it if I have time. Will post some pics if I get anywhere

Thanks for all the input so far!
