1996 P7 Rebuild

Re: 1996 P7 Rebuild. seatpost question?

I have to have a look deep to see if the post it the size of said on ebay, and give it a deep clean and burr check. Cheers for the feedback Trevor.

You must be very close to me, I am near colchester and randomly also restoring a p7 of the same vintage. Would love to see the frame after powdercoating, it looks great in the photos and may be the answer for my frameset.
 
Re: 1996 P7 Rebuild. seatpost question?

The frame has been powdercoated, and is a compromise of not being able to afford to re-nickel, and not wanting to loose the metallic finish. The job is okay, but you can tell its not the nickel up close!
(but was 65 plus vat from a place in Maldon)
it now have the new decals on, the rc35's,and tange aheadset hosting sk9 and hotrod.
just starting to put the groupset back (m950) and deciding on a back wheel. it has the pace front, so may go m950 rear if i can find one at a reasonable cost!)
cant wait to get out on her!

what stage is your P7 at Welkman?

Re: 1996 P7 Rebuild.

hmm, Michelin biscuit / tan Skinwalls. They hold air fine, but maybe I'll keep the Tioga Psycho TT and 2 for riding on (just a sucker for non-black tyres) on mavic x221 rims
 
Not sure where Jan and Feb have gone! :cry:

P7 is now built. Having an issue getting the M901 front mech to shift on the xt M739 compact drive 22/32/42 rings. viewtopic.php?f=1&t=288907

Old Michelin Wildgrippers are crusty as toast (have Psycho 2's for riding) but look nice!

Just re-building some Deore XT Pedals and adding toeclips, a Sharkfin and orange crud catcher and will be ready for the first spring outing. :mrgreen:

That warm fuzzy feeling when your local bike shop finds packaged NOS Shimano XT stock. I only went in there for some bolts for the XT cage pedals- what a find! now, to find some Orange nylon toe clip straps....

Happy days! They dont have any more do they?
 
I did ask if they had anything else lurking, but to no avail. However I'm having real grief getting the bearings back in the pedals (they came stripped in bits from a seller) and can see why they went over to a cartridge system in the 90's. :cry:
