Seaford, East Sussex. Inbetween Brighton & Eastbourne, on the South Coast.

Purchased as a new bike back in 2000'ish, I think from Wiggle or Chain Reaction. It shows surface corrosion to the top coating, weathering, surface defects, and some rust of exposed metal parts. It's never seen 'heavy' use, mostly ridden on soft trails, roads etc. Not sure if this surface...

Re: '95 Orange P7 & F7 Decals-New Unneeded set from 'The Gil A wee 'bump', reduced price to £25 as well. Come on, get a set of decals for that next P7 rebuild you don't know you will be doing yet… G

Dibs on the "2 pairs of Salmon Koolstop pads" please… :)

Re: '95 Orange P7 & F7 Decals-New Unneeded set from 'The Gil Ya right. Once I got the first coat of DIALL on and didn't see the frame melt in front of my eyes then I calmed down. :) I was fortunate to find a pair of F7 forks on ebay last week, mint as were boxed after he got the bike and...

Re: '95 Orange P7 & F7 Decals-New Unneeded set from 'The Gil Aha! Yes. It went bloody well thank you. Actually just needed two liberall coats of that DIAL paint stripper and some good rubbing with the soapy brillo pads. That got all the lacquer off then I polished with Autosol, then some...

Ordered a set of Orange P7 & F7 decals from 'The Gil' but changed my mind on decal colour, so have a brand spanking set ready to sell. They only turned up in the post this morning as Gil had printed them out Monday evening. :) They are black/orange. So the Orange logo is black with all wording...

Always loved that Pace stem, seen a few pop up of late on ebay for similar prices. Very nice… G

Re: Orange F7 Nickel Forks Steerer Too Short on P7-Any thoug Yeah tell me about it. Feel such a twat… :) But checking up on an old Orange manual from 1997 (my orange is '95/96): http://www.orangebikes.co.uk/brochures/ ... hi-opt.pdf it says the steerer tube on 17" forks is 168mm whereas the...

These are simply devine… checking bank account now.

Re: Orange F7 Nickel Forks Steerer Too Short on P7-Any thoug I think my main non-understanding is: if the fork steerer literally sits flush with the top of the head tube (minus any headset parts/race), how will I fit a threaded headset? I assumed you needed at least an 1" of the threaded...

Just purchased a lovely pair of Nickel Orange F7 forks (1995 & threaded) off a chap on ebay and within 5 minutes realised I hadn't even asked the question: From what size frame did they come and how long is the steerer? Been desperate to get a pair for my rebuild, and finally one turned up. I...
