    Orange P7 Info

    Thanks but I though earlier as it has a stx threaded steerer, I think he's used the quill converter on it, hopefully the seat post will be good, cranks can be polished if teeth ok, rims are odd maybe hubs be ok. I have a mint XT rear mech that should be ok, I'm going to try and see if a mobile...

I was using a high end spin bike but I can't get the Marin's seat any further back and that makes me feel pushed forward. I might have a look or hang fire for a 20-21 inch or...
