Running with a rather long stem (120mm). I'm intending to try something shorter, but not got around to it yet as I'm very pleased with how it feels already!

JB the Simple is a great frame wish I had never sold Saschas frame cost wise they are over priced IMHO look @ the Genesis frames for a good alternative.

JB,

The orange P7 one, I have to say its the best frame I have ever had, better than the over priced french carbon lapierre thats hanging on the wall. Thats gotta go on ebay!!!

Postie did you sell Saschas frame to purchase some chris king hubs!!! and happy birthday Postie

the P7 is a tenner cheaper than the simple and (if i remember correct) also built in the far east plus the simple has far nicer dropouts

. . . .and when your knees give out you can gear up your P7. For what its worth I currently have a Soul and a 2007 P7 s/s. Although theres not much in it I have to say the P7 wins by a nose.

Podge, £10 thats almost a set of pads :D.

I was shocked how good the P7 was when I had it. As I say I have a Lapierre carbon hardtail blinged up and it never out the house as I have so much fun on the P7.

true but the Simple also comes with free delivery so its actually cheaper than the P7. i must admit when i had my P7 it was like a rocket up the hills

But the p7 has guides for gear cables, which ruin the nice clean lines. A very vain point i know, but i think ss bikes do have a nice uncluttered asthetic which "compromise" bikes like the p7 fall short of.

The P7 One (SS specific version) doesn't have cable guides IIRC.
