Condor Pista/Tempo

hes got a brake, wasnt the guy that spat riding brakeless?

I'd never do such a thing - i hate wankers who spit and ride - especially at girls. Who is that guy he needs a slap.

Giving Condor riders a bad name like that....

hohoho

danger joel hes got a brake, wasnt the guy that spat riding brakeless?

allegedly, but we have to examine every lead, especially at this stage of the investigation

He may have installed said brake to cover his tracks.
I'm not convinced.

I agree...

anyone get a sample?

i dont do bridges...
norf landan only chaps and chapettes.

he may have been late for a board meeting and riding hard so needed to spit but didn't want to gob on his new softshell jacket.

ohherr missus....!

i always save my spit for the gass guzzling bently driving twat... whats the point. Always hit one in notting hill around 9am coming back from the school run... and stopping at starbucks with doors wide open and engine still running. makes me sick.
also - i dont ride hard.
just fast.

lukeslytalker Blimey - all this banter about the condor pista!
I ride a black 07 pista. Standard frame - mines the one on the condor brochure this year!
upgrades :
condor goldtec asymetric hubs
DT swiss handbuilt wheels -
deda anatomical bars
campag skeleton front brake
gold finger lever
sugino messenger crank (black)
schwabble stevio tyres (white)
izumi track chain
specialized toupe seat (condor seat is like sitting on a splintered RSJ - i agree)

I love my bike. It makes my journey from kentish town to holland park and back every day joyous.

It goes well with my panchant for black and white clothes and my rapha - yes rapha - softshell jacket and grand tour gloves.

I am not a ponce. I like good quality and its my only transport for london - work and beyond.

I dont care what you all think or say. Condor make good bikes. Rapha make good clothes that dont make you look like a twat when you turn up to meetings or sweat like a pig.

I rate this bike highly - for a commute or otherwise. Its understated and a sweet ride. Ive been riding single speed for about 10 years and fixed for 3 and if i ever change my bike there are only two alternatives for me - a Kalavinka or a moyer - for weekends - as i rekon the pista is a knockout commuter.

Avvit.

i'm sorry, you ride a black and white pista + wear black&white rapha = PONCE! no offence or anything, but that is the maths.

Any pink accents on there? A Fizik Arione saddle with pink stripe and aybe some pink bands on the tubing and you're sorted. Some may say ponce but who cares. It looks awesome. That's what the Rapha Condor team bikes look IIRC.

But they get paid to ride/advertise Rapha & Condor..

hippy But they get paid to ride/advertise Rapha & Condor..

I was just saying that it was quite cool. Nothing more. Nothing less.

I wouldn't knock it back! Might have to go over the pink bits with a permie marker but I'd certainly take the bike! :)

But they'd match your shirt booootifullly.

Mashton, Dale reckons you're a ponce. FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT!

Witnessed an epic Condor stack on way home tonight; was perched with foot on curb and watched a black and white (geared) Condor filtering at ohhh about 20 down middle of stationary traffic by a bus stop opposite a supermarket just as a bendy bus sets down. Ped walks out between buses with spectacular results.
Watching the two of them scream insults at each other I really couldn't pick sides....

it's the peds fault for jaywalking but 20 is too fast for filtering.

especially if you can't stop in time.

black and white seems to be a recipe for trouble!

MrSmith it's the peds fault for jaywalking but 20 is too fast for filtering.

i was thinking about this today. I have near-misses all the time with peds walking out when traffic has stopped. 20mph is too fast, but it isn't breaking any laws, right? Ehh?

I guess pedestrians are always in the right, when it comes to the law, no?

?

Not necessarily, but I think that regardless of 'right or wrong' that most people are asleep either driving, walking, or cycling, if I remember that it means that only I am responsible for staying upright.... like a video game .... but one life?

RPM black n' white condor eh...

you don't spit at girls then run into them , do you?

I know someone who rides a black and white condor, brakeless with risers, who has reason to be south of the river. in fact i rode up through kennington with him a few weeks ago... err.

?[/quote]what is it with u and pedestrian's and other cyclists running into you??

Stupid fscking peds walk out in front of me all the time.. through traffic and stuff.. what can you do?

A car drove into me last night on the way to turbo.. he squished me into another car. I yelled at the fscking idiot.
The car I was leaning on took off so I had to move too. Fun and games. Made for an interesting turbo session/anger management class.

Yes, i might be perceived as a ponce - but i dont give a monkey's. Blac and white is sweet and rapha condor looks gooood together.
stop being jealous and get on the ponce wagon and love it!
