Hi everyone
I have a orange P7 in purple which was one of the very 1st ones made from 94 i think without the chainstay bridge, it has 7 speed block with xt thumbshifters and a short cage rear mech all still working fine .
The frame has a few very light surface rust spots but no pits, I wonderd is it worth stripping and resparaying this frame at its age or will it be to nackered inside? i have piccys from wheni built it when i find them i will show them, bought it from a cycle shop in wash lane bury nr manchester, i forget the name, everything part from chain rings are early 90 spec, i had a £1400 zaskar race bike but it was ally and horrible to ride so i sold it, tha P7 was so comfy i could ride it all day.
What do u think is it to old to put back to its former glory? if not should it be painted its original colour and can i get the decals from orange for it still?.
Many thnx for your help here guys an girls and your experiance.

Merry xmas
