Limited Edition Condor World Series F&F (49cm) with issues

[DancefloorTerrorist]

Ok,

First off the Chorus seatpost may be seized and the ultra torque crankset is a nightmare to get off. I've been giving it a bit of penetrating oil here and there so let's see what happens.

Also, the grease in the headset has dried up and I'm willing to bet it will need a new bearing race

Thirdly, the derailleur hanger has had a knock at some point. I've bent it back into position as much as I can at the moment.

ALSO, it's teeny tiny at 49cm and it's been in a cellar for years so probably needs checking for rust


But it's strictly limited edition - one of only 30 made in this design...

It's fair to say this was probably in waaaaaaaaay better nick in 2010. There are a couple on ebay, one in similar condition, poorly built up, for over £600.

I'm asking £100 plus postage (but collection from Epsom is preferred, or maybe Holborn (near Condor conveniently))

By the way, the blue open pros in the pictures aren't coming with it. I've just put them on so you can see the scale.

Think it may be a slow burner. Am going to wait a couple of weeks before it goes to Ebay. My mate gave me it as I need some ultra torque cranks for my De Rosa. Just keep spraying penetrating oil on the blighter when I walk past it

Re:

If that helps... for the cranks is very likely the bearings have now seized in the cups, so you can undo the central bolt (with a long 10mm allen key) by a couple of turns only, then using a mallet you can push out the Lh crank using the bolt (it threads on the Lh crank), once the rust seal is broken remove the bolt and wiggle the crank side to side and it will come out. The Rh crank will be easy to remove by getting rid of the clip on the BB cup, and pushing from inside the BB shell with a piece of wood (i.e. a piece of broomstick).
Hope this helps.

Yeah, I have the 10mm tool (that slots into an allen key). Will try that at the weekend. Cheers

Re: Condor

Hi. I know we spoke before, but I desperately need some forks. If those forks are 367mm axle to crown (and I assume that black bit on the top of the steerer is a shim?) then I'll take f&f and collect around Holborn?

Re: Condor

Oops...literally just been offered some forks from a friend for cheaps so no longer needed. Sorry to mess you about and glws!
