  • 1996 Orange P7 seatpost size?

    I’m building up my old orange p7 which I bought in 1996.

    Anyone confirm the seat tube diameter please – both internal and external.

    Orange have advised the seat post should be a 29.6mm and the seat clamp a 31.8mm.

    But I’ve read elsewhere that the p7 with a forward facing slot, as mine has, is a different size.

    Anyone with an old p7 or a good memory confirm that?

    Thanks.

    But is that with a shim?

    Orange website gives different details to the info I’ve been given by orange.

    P7 94-98 30mm seatpost 27.2 +shim seat tube 31.8 Slot faces rear
    P7 98-05 29.6mm seatpost 27.2 +shim seat tube 31.8 Slot faces front

    I bought the bike either late 96/early 97 and it has a front facing slot.

    I believe it has a factory fitted shim. It’s how it came from new anyway. The slot faces forwards. I have no idea what the OD is as I haven’t got any verniers to hand.
