FS: Condor Lo-Pro (withdrawn)

  • THIS IS WITH A NEW OWNER NOW, left here for good measure...

    Full disclosure, I bought this from @banana_skid last year, and his thread can be seen here:
    https://www.lfgss.com/conversations/252126/
    There are marks on the frame, no dents that I can see, but pitting to the paint. See there for frame-only pics.

    Reynolds 653 Frame & Fork
    Set up with Carbon Condor fork right now.

    Since @HHC showed some interest in the old FS thread, first dibs there if there's interest...

    Top tube: 60cm
    Seat tube: 57cm
    Down tube: 62cm
    700C front and back

    I'm 6ft and I am totally okay with the setup, with some seat tube showing - may be suitable for someone shorter too...

    Currently it looks like this, and before you all go hating and putting it in the anti thread, it's done me well at Herne Hill, and was set up to be track legal as my training bike. Also it's not a true track frame, it has the RD hanger, it's not a true lo-pro 700C front blah blah blah. But it's an aggressive geometry frame with rear dropouts

    I've only used it to/from the track, and for training over the winter and spring. Since I'm leaving London soon, I'm not going to be riding it any more. If it doesn't sell I'll put it in storage.

    The picture shows it with:
    Specialized Romin, Shimano pedals, yellow tyres and speed/cadence sensor.
    These aren't included.

    I will however offer the buyer:
    Selle Island project saddle and MKS track pedals (no cages, one side missing a bit of metal), and used red&black Kenda tyres with lots of life left
    so you can ride home....if you want them. Otherwise, bring some bits to set it up.

    Not keen on splitting.

    The original chromed forks are 1" threaded, and are included, however it is currently fitted with black Condor carbon forks. You'll receive both, but you need a different headset if you want the originals back on.

    So!

    Condor 'Lo Pro' F&F
    Derailleur hanger, and small stopper on DT, so can be used as a geared TT.
    Norco carbon seatpost and stem
    Condor 1" A-Head headset
    Shimano 105 front brake (pads barely used)
    Tektro cross-top lever.
    FSA shallow drop wing-something 42cm handlebars
    700C Front - Campagnolo hub, Mavic XP-21 rim
    700C Rear - Ambrosio hub (recently replaced bearings) double fixed 14t & 16t, Ambrosio Excursion rim
    Stronglight 165mm cranks, 48T chainring
    Shimano BB (BB-UN55 68BSA 110mm dead silent chainline)
    SRAM chain

    £WITHDRAWN

    F&F looks like this -

  • Thanks for the preliminary dibs. Sadly cannot take it off your hands.

    Glws. Looks bargainous.

  • Update:

    I will now include the pictured yellow tyres, which are Vittoria Open Corsa KS, instead of the used red/black kenda's.

    Tyres have been used a handful of times since fitting, mostly for little errands from mine to the shop, once or twice at Herne Hill, and once E&C to Clapham and back. They're not new, but they show little or no wear.

    Pretty sure both the 16T and 14T are Dura Ace, too.

  • nice! whats the effective top tube?

  • Good question! I have no idea. I will try measure it later.

    Edit:
    Since the tiny head tube and the seat tube are parallel, I'm wondering if I can cheat and measure straight across the frame?

    Otherwise I'll need some time to draw up where I should measure from. Honestly I'm not sure the best place to measure with a lo pro.

  • If you do consider splitting at some point in the future... Let me know. Only have a need for the frame & the 1" forks so appreciate that's a long shot!

  • Checking effective length now

  • Ah no more like 58-59cm effective, but I can only roughly work it out. Anyone is welcome to measure it for me properly!

  • Withdrawn from sale for now...!

  • Out of interest, how much would you have sold this for?

  • Man I would dearly love this. Don't spose you'd re-withdraw and name a price?!?

  • It was roughly £450 complete, £350 frame and forks only. I noticed a few bumps in the rear wheel that I hadn't noticed in riding, but they are beater training wheels and effectively thrown in considering the price. I was going to list on the auction site or convert into a geared tt machine.
