Same as this. About the only thing I don't like about it is the Cranks.

Not quite as clean now as it was here. 😀

What dont you like about the cranks Kuco?

Is yours a custom build Chorlton?

Adding the nice extras on orange website it hits £2k... thinking a custom build be better even with the frame being £450!

I seem to get excessive foot rubbing with them. Got RF Diablo cranks on my Demo7 and don't get it much on them.Would of rather had seen some XT cranks than the RF Evolve XC that are on it.

I just bought the frame and some new forks and used the rest of the bits off my old bike. That was two and a half year ago and it was alot cheaper than £450. A fairly hefty bike at 28 pounds but fantastic to ride.

I agree it's no xc lightweight but loverly to ride.

As if I needed any other excuse to post these photos from today 😉

Not got a picture but i can't recommend them enough. Mine has been spot on, i think they are a really good UK bike, perfect for what i ride.

I rode my mates - really spirited ride

I'll get a picture up shortly of my partner's P7. I'll confess to being utterly envious of her as it possibly the most remarkable bike I've ever been on. Although she sometimes puts the 130mm Fox Float from her Stumpy on it, its usual guise is with a rigid fork. I get some adrenaline-based thrills and grins from my own bikes - SX Trail and Orange SubZero - but the P7 simply demands my attention and focus and just plants a smile on my face. Every time I ride it I seem to find myself saying things like "how nice is that, then?" and "can I have it?", even if nobody else is around.

Is the P7 the perfect trail bike?

My second and last P7, although I hear they're a bit stronger around the headtube now!

No pictures, but we recently had a neon orange pro with matching rims in stock, attracted a lot of attention(as expected), but was sold with black rims.The neon orange rims were then fitted to a white pro for a customer, and it looked absolutely stunning, well worth checking out their custom colours.

Coatesy must work at Sunset then. I saw that P7 it looked eyewatering, but in a good way.

Here's mine, yes the hoses are too long.. 😀

I know I'm biased but my 2008 frame has the nicest decals 8)

gonna be test riding a 21" P7 this weekend. I'll take a shot and post it. Personally I think Orange could make these bikes look sooo much better by droping the top tube 1/2inch or so even if it means putting a (in vogue)gusset at the seat/top tube junction. Orange market this bike as a hard core hardtail but the 21" looks more like a road bike with 26" wheels.

Oh go on then....from 1993...

And its a 21

One geared one SS both great.

No photos,but I've grown to love mine through the course of this winter. It's heavier than my 575 looks a bit iffy,but rides great.

pffft! all these modern P7s

Don't know if this picture will work but its a 21" demo bike I've just handed back. Excellent ride for what I do. would recommend this bike to anyone wanting a long travel hardtail. My exiting HT is much lighter but the P7 seemed to whip up climbs just as readily and was soooo much more fun elsewhere on the trail.

Pat (twang), right at the top there, just got back in from a ride on that very bike (well most of it, minus the gears). Lovin it thanks!

bum

Click on all sizes in flickt. Right click on the picture, select properties, copy the url and then whack it into the img thingy on STW.

OK upto the img thingy, do you mean I have to type img (in brackets) before and /img (in brackets) after to url?

There's an IMG button above the Reply box, just click that and paste the URL
