ok so i have 3 nickel P7's, one i've had quite a while, a 94/95, canti brakes and 737 xt, looks pretty much catalogue, i recently bought another nickel p7 frame, a 96/97, but then a friend decided to sell his mint 96/97 complete bike to me which is v brake and 9speed xt, so the frame i have is kind of not needed, but i decided i want to do a neo-retro build, so as the nickel is a bit dodgy i've decided to paint it.
being that i have 2 that are very original it gives me the opportunity to do something different, especially as i'll be using a pace rc30 (?) fork on the front so i looked through the Orange archive to see if there was a paint design i like that i could use as inspiration, but nothing jumps out.
so what paint do you think i should do? i was thinking something bright, maybe a 3 colour fade? i'm wondering about even a fat chance style paint job on it, thoughts? is that blasphemy?
also, i'm thinking about brake options, the fork has v brake and disc mount, the frame has just v mounts, i'm thiking i could get a disc mount added and go disc front and rear, and if i do i'd remove the V mounts, or i was thinking Magura rim brakes, and if i do that i'll get some specific cable guides for the hose.
thoughts?
