many thanks for those examples - really helpful - think I'll stick with my XT V brakes on Mavic ceramic rims...
you did not come up with the type of rear disc set up I saw on that Orange, though - wonder what it was? - wish I had a cameraphone!
cheers

hi - today I saw an oldskool Orange P7 with rear disc conversion - the caliper was a solid ribbed affair, cable pull, mounted on the rear axle with a block that abuts the seatstay and prevents forward rotation under braking. the hub was an old Hope. the caliper had no name/label.
any ideas what...
shifter
thanks - came today - very nice piece of kit - just what the good doc ordered! replaces the original on my 95/96 Explosif wot I've had for yonks - 3 front shifts again!
happy retro-ing

hi - is the shifter still for sale? - I have similar looking shifter on my 96 Explosif but did not realise it was XT - I cannot find any code or part numbers on it - just the Shimano label like yours - where is your M008 mark? I need a replacement so I'll buy yours if still up for sale...
hi - looking for a 5 bolt spider for a Hope hub - front specific - I realise these are getting like rocking horse poo but if anyone's got one i'd be very keen to buy
cheers
