Condor's threaded 1 inch fork is £140, but BLB's is only £80 - any experience/opinions on the quality of both? Are BLB components fairly good quality, or is it better to stump up the extra cash for the Condor version?

Both are overpriced but there is a difference. Look at the way the dropouts are attached. If the Condor were £80 and the BLB about half that I'd say go for it but for me I'd say look for a used fork.

I agree, but bought the BLB because I needed something quickly.

I was nervous about the quality of the chrome but it's perfectly good. My LBS cut the steerer and fitted them up within the £80 price which took the edge off a bit.

It troubled me to start with that they have BLB stamped on top if the crown but I'm over it now.

Good to hear - reckon I'll just go for the BLB and save the cash then. Cheers!

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot
