Both nice bikes, but I'm loving the p7. I think I'd like to do a retro build next

Cheers dude, yeah the Orange is a cracking bike and retro builds are nice because everything is a bit more straightforward and less hassle than suspension and hydraulic brakes!!

So much lighter as well without spending a bomb ;-) There's always loads of P7's and C16's on ebay for peanuts, get yourself one!
