Well here is my last P7, never seen on here. Quite a different build to the others - my 1995 is totally factory, my 96 is with a trick mix, this 97 frame is a total bitsa. I never set to build it with anything in mind, never hunted any specific parts, unlike my usual builds...
This was made up with whatever was lying around, and things that popped up and caught my eye.
Really pleasing to build, a few bodges involved - filing the girvin steerer to fit, headset adjuster creativeness, I even created one set of nice m739 xt v brakes from 2 dead sets. Proper making do (hence the wheels)...
Anyway without meaning to, i think I just made my nicest bike...
What do y'all think
spec:
97 P7 21in frame/vector fork/cane creek headset
Orange SK9 stem, Silver azonics single wall riser
kore easton seatpost, orange saddle
M739 xt mechs, brakes, levers
Lx shifters, bb
sugino cranks,
M217 on quando (gulp...) rear
Campagnolo something on stx front (lovely wheel)
Conti tyres (new)
Scuse the spec - all spares - only the fork was bought to fit...
Amazingly CRC supplied a 29.6-26.8 shim to fit my Kore seatpost (spare from RTS build - ordered 2 by mistake!!!!)
