1996/7 Orange P7 refresh

[Falkster]

I thought I could pretty much pick the bike up, squirt with WD40 and be out with the kids but years of riding without any maintenance has left it needing quite a few things doing.
I’m not going to be anal with this, I just want it to look nice and be able to ride it.
It’s having new headset, new bearings and a hub refresh, new cables, new bars, new seat, new levers, new decals, pair of tyres and maybe new V brakes as they’re pretty reasonable on ebay plus a really good clean.
Made progress on the cleaning

Well worth the effort!

Re:

Feels like Xmas again today - not quite correct period but for the price I had to replace the original Avid SD3. Not bad for £40 delivered. Just waiting for a decent saddle then it’s ready.
