Peter, who used to distribute Planet-X bikes in the US, got my attention and dragged me over to see this pretty bike. Last year at Sea Otter he had only road stuff and it looked like he was getting out of the mountain bike business. But apparently, he can’t stay away. Because he’s now distributing Orange bikes in the US. Including this CroMo Orange P7 hardtail , set up with a carbon belt drive, and internally geared rear hub.
I couldn’t really find any information on the belt drive online. The Orange Web site lists the P7, but only as a standard geared bike. Here’s a link to theP7 page on the Orange UK site: http://www.orangebikes.co.uk/2008bikes/p7-pro.php
