Sad Condor with some 'neglect bingo' for you to play...

The rack, my eyes

A well-used Longstaff tourer. Double-wrapped bar tape, which is kind of ugly, but considering the state of the bar tape on the other bikes in this thread, I'll not criticise...

You are correct, "double wrapped bar tape" has "tattered gaffer tape" beat, hands down!

I cycle to work along part of the Oxford towpath and often see some interesting bikes belonging to the narrowboats and houseboats moored there. They change through the year as people move about so theres always something new.

This Columbia was clearly a budget machine but the yellow looked good in the sunshine. Can't believe how thin the seatpost is and the fork clearance is also something to behold.




And a (much nicer!) 531 Carlton with lovely orange guards.

Don't see too many retro bikes around here, so this 92 purple & bright green Bolinas Ridge stood out like a sore thumb!
