Sticking a decal over the holes for the headbadge...super naff.

Also this is a later Condor logo from the 80s...a further dent to 60s originality.

Damn, what a fine bargain this is.

If it really is a Hurlow build then not a bad price for the spec. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/205628235233

My knowledge is pre disc, pre US thirst and influence on UCI cross regs. I think nobody really cared up to national level champs - if you were good enough to get there then be prepared for a closer interest in these things. Carthorses like me racing for 90th place in a local league :D...hard to...

Yeah, 33mm (measured) currently. Local leagues weren't wedded to UCI regs, thankfully. The old rule was 35mm for seniors, big lads and chepskates (I ticked all 3 boxes). I was one of the few riding 32s in the London&SE league - because thats all I could squeeze in between my chainstays on my 80s...

Donated - and thank you @bulgie for your work and upkeep on such a valuable resource. Is it the bandwidth charge thats stopping you pro hosting? Would take the DNS and cert issues out in one move.

There were tons of officially rebadged Vitus frames weren't there. This could be unofficial...or a prototype / sample.

Sold for £100! Looks like all internet bids.

This is my 1987 Coventry Eagle Touristique rescued from FB marketplace for £35. Wheels, saddle and rear mech have been replaced but otherwise all original kit. She has enjoyed a full DIY respray in my back garden in RAL 720M. Despite being one of the least cool brands out there, those that know...

I feel your pain. Bloody hard selling a bike right now. Lots of well meaning suitors whose interest isn't strong enough to make a sale stick.
