    Orange P7 rust on rear triangle thoughts

    I picked up some Rustins rust remover and had a go at it. Parts of it came up quite well but the side nearest the BB is very pitted and doesn't look great where the weld meets the chainstay. I took a few pics if you have any thoughts on those? I'm guessing based on the above I should probably...

    Hi All, was just wondering if the rust on the bit that joins the two chain stays on the rear triangle is something I should be worried about? Also any suggestions on how to improve/seal it if possible. Thanks!

    Orange P7 bent dropout -- salvageable?

    Cheers everyone for the really helpful suggestions -- glad to hear it's not as bad as I thought! I will try out a couple of the more DIY methods suggested on the mech hanger first and then go from there. Keep you posted!

    Orange P7 bent dropout -- salvageable?

    Hi, I'm new to the site so hopefully this is the right forum. I recently got hold of an Orange P7 from I think '95 but clearly didn't do my due diligence and turns out one of the rear dropouts is severely bent (see pic attached -- hopefully that's clear enough). I'm assuming this isn't...
