Can you run a Orange P7 frame with 5inch (130mm) forks.

I know they come with 6 inch as a full build as standard and was wondering if this would effect the geometery negatively

Thanks

130mm will be fine, I have 140mm Vanilla's on mine and think that 10 or 15mm off them would actually improve the handling.

Using 130mm Pace RC41SCAM here. Seem ideal and lighten the gas pipe weight a little.

Just a note that I have recently changed from 90mm 15 degree stem to a 70mm 0 degree and the bike feels loads better for it.
