Condor Pista/Tempo

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.
