• Hey

    I'm going to start building up an old Condor frame. I picked it up last year and used as an emergency (fixed) get around. It looked like this:

    I bought a Dolan Pre Cursa before xmas, and now intend to give this lovely Condor gears and some dignity back. Saying that, I intend to leave it in the slightly tatty condition it is in.

    List imminent; parts I currently have:

    • Condor 531st Frame (Green)
    • Dura Ace 7700 hubs laced to Ambrosio Exellence (thanks to @6pt for these babbers)
    • Dura Ace Stem
    • Dura Ace 7700 crankset 52 - 39
    • Dura Ace 7700 front derailleur
    • Dura Ace 7700 rear mech
    • Dura Ace 7700 cassette 11 - 21
    • Optional Shimano HG cassette 12 -25
    • Shimano BB-5500 Octolink
    • Shimano 105 Flight Deck shifters

    Required:

    • A FUCKING SHIM for the front mech clamp
    • DA Seatpost (want not need)
    • Barz, maybe Giros
    • DA 7700 brake callipers (want not need)
    • Saddle, got a couple I can use temporarily
    • Pedals, still undecided here. Might just get some Atacs for homogeny.

    Pics imminent:






    Not doing a rush job on this really, as I intend to spend all my money on sliding sideways down mountains before the summer. Will be putting a rack or two on it and heading out for some exploring/camping when the snow melts and the sun comes out.

    Note: I have never put together a geared bike and have basic knowledge about compatibility in respect of components, would appreciate any recommendations (in general).

    Will update when I commence
