Dave Yates Condor

  • Condor touring frame made from 531 designer select and built by Dave Yates.

    The geometry is quite long and low - couldn't quite get it to work for me.

    Top Tube: 62 cm (ctc)
    Seat Tube: 58 cm (ctc), 64.5 cm (ctt)
    Headtube: 20cm

    I got it from JingleJangle on here a couple of years ago, other than the addition of a headset nothing has changed, think I paid £145 so would like to get that back.

    Collection only from Crystal Palace.

  • Damn
    Glad this isn't a 55
    GLWS, don't think this will take long.

  • Calling the talls! This is one sick whip, what a bargain.

  • Pm'd!

  • cheers all! provisionally sold.

  • Just spotted this.

    Would have bought it back!

  • Sick.
    @boomboom Photo on the dave yates thread when it’s built, please!

  • Just spotted this.

    Would have bought it back!

    eek

  • Ah no sorry, didn’t realise you wanted it back! Blame my poor tagging skills...

    Now sold.

  • Now I feel bad :-/. If it doesn't work out for me it's yours JJ

    Will do @Skülly. I'm going to email condor tonight with the frame number to see if they have any history

    Cheers @bt, nice to meet you.

  • thanks for tagging me :)

  • Curious to see if this has been built up please?!

  • Good timing.

    Am waiting on a few bits this week, but almost there.

    Will post it up on the Dave Yates thread when it's done.

  • ^ lol, 10 months ago. Still haven't finished it and thinking of now selling it as an unfinished project.

  • Potentially / very interested if you do decide to sell, where are you based?

  • ...would also be interested, if it was up for sale again... have been thinking for ages about getting canti mounts put on my current Dave Yates frame, switching for a canti DY frame is probably a better choice...

  • ~~ Also interested… ~~
    Jeez no what am I saying, it’s huge.

  • heh, I'm hoping to pick it up this week & flip the bits from my blue yates onto it as my commuter. need brakes tho & being indecisive - do m565 cantis hold up against moderns? are paul tourings too $$$? would v-brakes be too un-aesthetic? etc

  • V seems sensible. Silver would be nice. I loved the modern shimano cantis I ran recently, and easy to set up.
