For Sale: Condor Pista 55cm

Hi everyone,

I'm selling my Condor Pista (frame and carbon forks). It's 55cm C-T.

This was a frame replaced by Condor themselves circa 2010. As such, it doesn't suffer from the cracking seat post issue that affected 2008 models.

I can provide more details and photos of the bike as well as every single component on it - everything is well documented.

Although this post is for frameset only, I'm happy to discuss other components of the bike.

The frameset is in excellent condition, couple minor scratches only. Was freshly powder coated last year by Armourtex in Hackney.

I'm selling it because I'm looking to get a smaller size Condor Tempo frame.

£350.

Thanks and regards to all.

This is a PDF from Condor's website with all the measurements. The Pista appears toward the end of the document.

What's going on above the front brake on the fork? Is it damaged there?

Hi paulm,

The finish has flaked off at that point. Fork is intact though. It was like that when I bought the bike a year and a half ago.

Let me know if you need further info.

Since I've had this bike, Ive been riding it on the streets of London every single day for an average of 10miles/day.

The bike is not only sound and time-tested, but is as good at taking the edge off London road riding as it is at being a light, minimal and fast track fixie.

My reasoning is that, if I get the Tempo frameset, I get to keep most of what makes the Pista light and fast but with a slightly more relaxed geometry - that, plus the slightly longer wheelbase and 28' tyre clearance, and what I'll basically get (hopefully) is a more comfortable ride, which is a priority for me now.

In addition to any interest in my Pista itself, I would appreciate any thoughts/advice anyone may have on my way of going about this.

Cheers

Dope frame!

Thanks milkyway,

It's my (slightly oversized) pride and joy :)

I would trade for a condor Tempo (or the same Pista) that is a 49 or 52cm.

The custom drawn Dedacciai SAT 14.5 triple butted steel is both light and smooth-riding on London roads. Happy days.

Frame is still available.

Is this £350 for the whole bike?

No, it's £350 for frame and forks.

I've got a pair of Nitto Grand Randonneur handlebars that I'm happy to throw in, gratis, if you want them.

£350 for the frame and fork????

This was £260 all in.

I think you need to rethink your pricing...

Buckaroo,

Your link is to a 2008 Pista that had cracked. Remember that a used yet sound frame is materially closer to its brand new equivalent than a compromised frame is.

I'm selling a sound frame at 50% off its current retail value. Which means that £350 gets you a great frameset at a great price.

Anyway, people are free to research and purchase as they please. Sure there are some really awesome bargains out there, but I'm not anxious to sell quickly.

If you like this Pista but it's out of use your budget, I am sorry if I have disappointed you. In any case, feel free to pm me and make your own offer, whatever it may be.

Cheers

buckaroo,

As for your second link, yes that looked like a bargain! Whoever got that, got a sweet deal indeed.

Mine is admittedly not as sweet, but is still pretty tasty IMO.

A used, sound frame is just a used sound frame. Yours is still a lovely but is crucially old, and VERY used, in your own words:

"Ive been riding it on the streets of London every single day for an average of 10miles/day."

That's a lot of miles man. The more you ride and throw around a frame or bike to less money you should ask for it when you resell it, regardless of how sound it is.

Plus you can't use current condor pista frame prices as a valuation yardstick, they're brand new current frames...

In any case, GLWS :)

Market forces dude, if it ain't shipping the price needs dipping? I was trying to help you gauge a price not ruin your sale.

@Buckaroo Hey no worries bro, I was too just trying to explain my reasoning, thanks for your comments though.

Plus I'm pricing in the new paint job and having the bike stripped and rebuilt - a considerable cost that a buyer won't have to worry about - provided they like the colour!

Cheers
