just for ref. people, spoke to mario (vaz), who's brother is fixing the chainstay for a very reasonable £50 and then mario's respraying it and sorting some new decals. Very interested in the results as there's some 50/50 views on his work, he gauged it would be done in 2/3 weeks. My view is that it's cheaper than a new frame and if it's an ok job and lasts a bit i'll be chuffed.
For what it's worth, he did say he'd had a few other condor pistas in to fix and didn't rate the taiwan quality too highly.
