    Modern steel frame options?

    Would second Condor, I bought a Super Acciaio a few years ago and for an off the peg steel frame its hard to beat in terms of price/quality - (made in Italy, Columbus spirit, 5 year warranty etc) its hard to beat or even match imo. I had very good service in the shop as well.

    Wanted Royce Bottom bracket tool

    That’s a kind offer thank you and I am only in Bromley so not far but tbh I would prefer to pay up the £40 for the convenience if I can’t find an unwanted one. 👍

    Wanted Royce Bottom bracket tool

    London but it would be handy to have one as I need to swap it out of a frame which I want to sell before fitting it at a later date into the Condor. Will prob buy one on Friday if no luck on here.

    Wanted Royce Bottom bracket tool

    I’m planning on fitting it to a Dave Yates built Condor to run a triple crankset, I should really stop being so tight fisted but I thought it was worth seeing if one out there unused before splashing the cash.

    Big bikes were popular 45-60 years ago...

    I have a Condor with the same Freuler geometry, very nice to ride and I personally prefer the look of extending the seat and head tube vs having a larger frame.

    1993 Condor Professional 653 (Dave Yates built)

    My 90’s Condor came with an ITM eclypse stem and super italia (or europa bars can’t remember now). Would recommend. Also has the same veloce headset which I’ve always been happy with. Dave Yates built Condors have to be right up there for the best British bicycles of that era?

    Spotted on the street

    Camden a couple of weeks ago, believe it’s a Dave Yates built Pendio (which is the older brother to the Fratello). Classy looking machine. 👌

    Hurlow, Holdsworth or Mal Rees?

    Would love to see this built up! Did you get the head badge from Condor or is it period? I might need to source a 1950's one but nothing online that I can find.
