Hi all,

I have a Condor Baracchi with the serial 9396. Anyone now enough about Condor Serials to place this as a Dave Yates built bike?

Hi mate. Thanks for posting your nice Condor.

Esp as you've posted good pics of the head and seat clusters, I'm gonna stick my neck out and say yes, looks like one of Dave's. The fillets are ever so slightly visible at the head tube, as they are on my DY winter bike and many of the frames you see here ^, and the seat cluster is amazingly similar- shot-in stays, external sleeve, similar fillet, and the placement and type of the pinch boss thing.

I think Dave's fillet brazing is much less blobby and generously applied than a lot of frame builders, the fillets are really small.
