The forks serviced & reassembled. These are from my retired 2006 P7. 140mm travel. Not 100% sure whether to put them on as I also have some 2017 Fox 32 120mm.

Forks before & after.

Gone for the 120mm forks for now. Better suited to it's planned use. Just chain, gear set-up & dropper post to sort.

[mk one]

very nice, not really anything i would change on it, looks like it will be great fun to ride.

Must get another modern Orange steel frame, i have the Prestige they re-released and it is one of the most fun bikes i have ridden. It was getting a bit marked up so i retired it, but do miss riding it.
