What about the sunnies?

Now finished, with the BB properly installed (thanks to Rat Race Cycles) and the black / white Fiammante on the front.

I'm in two minds as to whether to put that Elite bottle cage on it or not. Opinions?

I had to go back 9 pages to find it.

I reckon you could do with a massive splash of colour. Pink bottle cage? Flouro? Flouro pink?

or

?

Ah. Still. Moar colour.

No! Keep it monochrome.

@mashton provides the colour

Although I am tempted by monochrome through and through too.

Will ride for a week or so and see how I feel.

Need to re-dye the mohawk...

Half black half white.

bottle cages: why elite cages? can they hold a large bottle of tyskie? (or purdeys)

Aren't you morally opposed to this build anyway? Or are you a convert?

I am morally neutral on this.

Just catching up with this.

In tears...

This needs to go into Design Museum or something.

Anyways, I was trying to find photos of the white Condor as I had it built up, but realis I lost a lot of golden era pics in the Great Forum Cleanse (aka move to Microcosm), but I have managed to find these pictures in my photobucket account which funnily enough has a lot of my "hobby" pics, I was into building guitars prior to deciding to build a sweet fixeh...

This is a blast from the past... 22 June 2008...

Then I went deep into LFGSS and this happened (along with trip to Ikea for cushions)...

That front brake caliper was DA btw

I suppose what I'm trying to say in a very longwinded way @mashton is that the Condor needs a Velocity deep-V rim.

Can you still buy them?

Ich dien

I was looking at this bike again. I think a camo top tube protector is a thing that needs to happen. It would be the rug that really pulls the room together.

This would certainly add some depth to the build.
