What he said ^

Re: 1997 Orange P7 LX: Loved, stolen, recovered 9 years late

Sorry, I was unexpectedly out last night, out tonight and busy at work today!

So, I warned you this bit is the ugly...

Well this is what it looked like when I got it back:



Let's just put that saddle/saddle angle aside!

I don't know what happened to that nice back wheel, I guess the 'owner' decided to keep it

The wheels are now generic Argos/Halfrauds jobbies.

My Deore LX rear mech had been replaced with this modern monstrosity



Decals have seen better days, but I can always get new ones, right?



At least it has that nice Syncros post I bought:



Aw crap, what the?!?! :x

And that's definitely not straight:



At this point though I'm thinking it can still be salvaged, the frame's still sound, all of these things are cosmetic/can be sorted, I can get new wheels, a new seatpost etc.
