I've got a 59cm Condor italia from the early eighties- At least I think its an Italia.
It's **NOT **very similar to this (but not in as great condition)...

Been in the 'family' since the eighties. My brother and his mate used to race Herne Hill Velodrome when they were couriers, but the his mate did his back in. My brother was given the frame. he then passed it on to my twin. It was a little tall for him and he stopped riding it when he came off it 2 years ago and ended up having his face stitched back together. I'm hoping its not jinxed...
Still has a Campag c-record headset and Cinelli stem (possibly seized in there) and a c-record chainset and BB (which I'm going to remove by hook or by crook).
Any ideas? I'll try and get it out the loft for pics tonight. Hoping it will fund a smaller frame for mytwin that i can post out to NZ with all the C-record / dura ace stuff that this had on it...
EIDIT: actulaly, it looks older than this. The lettering is all hand-painted and has more of an acute angle...
