I did it

[GHW]

Picked up the bike this morning. The shop staff were a little bemused by me stuffing it into an MX5 outside, but it fitted





I'll probably be at Cwmcarn tonight or tomorrow night trying it out

[snotrag]

:thubmup: Looks great!

Your arse is going to get a pummeling - those are some big stiff seatstays! Reminds me of my Kona Chute.

Oh, and get an inner tube wrapped round the Chainstay aswell, or your paint will last one ride!

Enjoy!

You'll not regret getting an Orange one bit. Love it.

I second the innertube thing though.

[horza]

Nice!

Get those reflectors off it though

[atom111]

Nice one GHW that is a lovely machine

[mk1fan]

NEEEEIIIIICCE!

Well done for getting it an MX-5 aswell.

[MTY4000]

That looks great. especially in matt black.

I carry my bike in the back of a Tamora for weekends away. I always get slack jawed stares as I pull the bike out of the car.... and then the wheels from the passanger seat.. and then spend about 30 mins putting it back together.... worth it though. Sports cars and MTBs go together well.

Black is the way forward- great "stealth" look you have going there.
Inner tube suggestion thirded.

GHW - I am not a weight weenie but do you know what the crush weighs?

Not a clue - weight wasn't really a consideration when I chose it

[wobert]

Good choice that man......fourthed the inner tube suggestion, or perhaps buy a proper stay protector?

Also ditch the std Orange flatties & buy some DMR V8s, you won't regret it!

I've an '07 P7 which I'm ecstatic with.....ENJOY!

Well, you as a person might not. Your lower legs, however

[thehappyotter]

The Orange Flats on my P7 lasted less than a week before they started clicking and clunking. The only let down on the whole bike though.

Black is the best colour, same as mine and I believe Wobert's. Stealthy.

Mine are polished, was recommended to avoid black & other colours as the finish apparently doesn't last.....so I'm told!

[thehappyotter]

Whoops, that's me being vague. I meant to say the black frame is the best colour.
