Show us Ya Citrus Fruit! (Orange Content)

Out in the woods with my two, sorry I'm arse with a camera! but you get the idea

First up:
1993 Prestige with usual English bits, Hope Pace USE X lite Middleburn etc

Then:
2002 Patriot with less English than I'd like, Hope brakes and stem in the works and A replacement Middleburn crank now that i've seen photos of the soon to be released thru axle variant and some Renthal bars I keep seing pictures of.....

Oooh I say!

Particularly like the Prestige!

My P7

Bought this nickel-plated '97 P7 from Fingers a little while back and I just love it.

I've only made a few minor changes (Flite Ti saddle, Fred Salmon Racing bar/stem combo, orange DMR V12 pedals) and it's a real mix'n'match of parts, but that's the way I like it.

Surprising there aren't more P7s and Clockworks with Girvin forks as this was a factory option. Maybe they're just too weird for most folk.

Heck.

My old bike

That looks amazing, really good pictures!

My Clockwork

nearly done!!!!

Oooooo, love the P7 and the Clockwork just makes me want to build mine up (when funds improve :roll: )

Gonna have a busy 2010 as I really want to get my '93 and '07 Clockworks built up and am trying to resist an 'O' + Elite. Bring on the New Year!!!

All very nice , love the Patriot, never got suspension seatposts on full sussers though :?

P7 looks great with the Vectors on

Here's my SSE3

There is a pic of it somewhere on this thread already but has changed a bit lately, White Industries cranks (real ones) have replaced the drilled STX's (which snapped, though they were drilled at least 12 years ago ), Maguras have gone, now has TRP V's and modern XT levers which work fantastic, the TRP's are very well made and very light, Odysey beartrap pedals (surprisingly light) have replaced the heavy Gusset trials ones and a modern BeOne saddle has replaced the Flyte .

It's now very light, guessing around 21Lb

Yep, defo need an Elite.

Not a suspension post!

Its a gravity dropper, along with lock on grips its one of the few genuine advancements of the modern era, seriously expensive but i'd never ever own another all purpose bike without one

...Go on, you know you want to!!

I'm thinking....

17" E3 ( like Jimi's ) + Girvin vectors ( like wheelnut's) + XTR = New project

The Hunt begins Some sweet Citrus rides though
