Orange gurus

Hi, just picked an orange up, just wondering if anyone knows more about the frame. I’m thinking 1993 p7. Frame number is A3011938. It’s been painted silver all over but been digging and found purple around the head and seat tube. Thanks for any help!

Could be a 93 Prestige, it came in silver with a purple fade at the headtube, seatcluster and BB. No rack/guard eyelets at the dropouts and the canti hanger look the same as mine (in my signature) Someone who actually properly knows will no doubt be along at some point.

Purple and orange fade clockwork?

It’s purple and looks similar

 

[Mod-Master]

But yours doesnt have any eyelets

The rear brake cable hanger isn’t clockwork, it’s the same as p7 or prestige

Ah yes looks a lot more like this one

Looks a lot like that, nearly all lx too.

I think it's a 93 Prestige. I've not seen rack bosses on the side of the wishbone on any P7 prior to 2000. Like the one in @Mod-Master post my 93 Prestige doesn't have them but they do show in the 93 catalogue.

Current decals on it are circa 96/97. Maybe used at time of repaint if Prestige decals not available?
