• I have read online that Bill Hurlow built frames for Condor up to the early 70’s but other articles state only to the late 60’s. Apparently BH invented the fastback seat stays which your frame has, is the chain stay bridge curved or straight, with a small hole drilled into it?
    I have a similar Condor Italia frame serial 7371. 👌

  • Hi Lampman....thanks for your reply...that is interesting and yours is 1973 or 1971? 7371 could be inversed.

    My brake bridge is straight but I need to check if there is a small hole drilled into it or not.

    Your dropouts....Are they Zeus by any chance as mine are but without the MG eyes....I have checked in the 1970s Zeus's only dropouts had MG eyes... perhaps who ever built mine ground off the eyes? On mine the serial number is on the fork column and NDS rear dropout....Same on your Italia?

  • I believe 1950’s-70’s Condors had year first then production number but this format is flipped in the 90’s.
    Serial number is on the NDS rear dropout & fork steerer. My frame actually has Zeus rear dropouts but Campag front!
    Wouldn’t surprise me if the builder ground off the eyes. Actually maybe it would be odd to ground off the eyes?

  • Not brake bridge but chain stay bridge near the bottom bracket
