The Alf Webb does look great once the psycho tribal dance paint work has been defeated. It's just the sloping top tube, it makes me all giddy, reminds me of my hybrid days.
I read somewhere that the Nelson's are just cheap because they want to clear the stock? At the RRP a Nelson comes in at £350, which drops it at the lower end of decent alu frame price lineup. Which again, strangely makes me worry about the build quality!
I didn't realise the Condor alu Pista didn't have reinforced dropouts? That does give me hope for the Nelson.
What a palaver. Does anyone ride an alu frame, without reinforced dropouts, brakeless? That would be my intention for the Nelson. I'd hate to get one and tear the back end off after a week of heavy skip stopping.
