Righty then.
I recently did some work for a well-off client in west London. When I remarked 'nice bike', they explained that they'd bought it at great expense in lockdown, rode it home from Condor, and... didn't use it again. They asked if I'd be interested in it as part payment, we figured something out, and... it's too small for me and too pretty to sit unused in a cupboard full of bikes.
I don't like playing the 'this is how much it is new' game, but I will.
I've gone through the Condor custom build thing on their website, and in this spec, with the Legacy paint/decals etc, White Industries freehub, Condor handbuilt wheels, at full retail from Condor (I know) it comes out at just shy of £2k.
Build spec is as follows:
Frameset: Condor Pista 52cm, Legacy paint/decals, Agate grey.
Brake Levers: TRP RRL SR Drilled
Brakes: Condor Supremacy
Chainset: Condor Supremacy
Bottom Bracket: Miche Primato
Freewheel: White Industries Eno
Wheels: Condor Handbuilt (own brand (rebranded Miche??) hubs on their own rims, double butted spokes)
Tyres: Panaracer Pasela Protite 25c
Saddle: Brooks Cambium C17
Seatpost: Condor Strada Carbon
Handlebar: Deda RHM02 42cm c/c, 44cm o/o
Stem: Deda RHM02 100mm
Chain: Izumi Gold
Bar Tape: Rapha
It's immaculate. I can't find a mark on it, and there's nothing about it that makes me believe it's done any more than the one ride back from the shop. To my mind, it's utter madness but there we go. I've also got the original owners manual, paperwork etc here too.
Sorry about the photos, it was p*ssing it down so I couldn't get outside. But hopefully they give a good indication of the bike - it's mint.
I'd like £950 for it, please.
I'm in Camberwell, SE5.
I might consider splitting... especially if someone has a nice SS frame in a 57/58ish. But my preference would be cold, hard cash (or magic money transfer) for the complete bike.
