Did your C17 have the 'nut cut-out' in it? My C17 with the aforementioned is the comfiest saddle I've ever had - touring on it has been ace. Otherwise neat-looking P7

Hehehe, that's the woman! Thompson stem:

Woah, I've never seen that bolt-on cargo doodad thingy before! Who made that? Ingenious!

Yes, to be fair it can. I'd want it ready to rock and roll and look sweet-as for that amount of wedge!

I sincerely hope it's nobody on RB who owns this - it's the devil's work - canti rear stop with V-brakes! And, a stem clumpier than that Russian woman's shoes in that Bond movie when she clicks her heels and the spike comes out the front. (I guess I don't like a Thompson). (Do not, do not...

Excellent job. Excellent. 2K rattle can clearcoat? For me, the only option nowadays.

Excellent, thanks for that (diversion). Me likey

Wondering, can you lay your finger on a pic of this pink splatter scheme and post it? Intrigued.

Fricking ouch! Saw a guy jump a red light once. Straight into side front wing of a car that was entitled to pull out. Nuts and pubis smashed - I bet his forks could have looked like that if I'd been able see through my tears of mirth

That base colour is really nice on its own Then what you've done with it is awesome - I think it's great, really great. Enjoy riding it!

Bargain - looks like it's got measles though poor thing! Once the rusts's gone some sort of car wax could help keep the rust at bay? It'd turn my head in the street - P7 with F7 forks - coool

Agreed - a well set up canti set-up is excellent. I've not done much off-roading, but canti's are surely 'enough'? They need fettling as the pads wear but this is only more tiresome on a commuter with heavier use - this is Retrobike - (quite) a lot of the talk is about bikes that get much less...

Lovely, just lovely. Now I want pistachio ice cream for dessert.

I'm 98.542% sure I spaced-down an XT rear hub to 130mm to fit her indoors' Gemini - it was a number of years ago, but pretty sure.
