As I reported in the right thread for such sad events - my Condor Tempo got stolen :(
I now need to find a replacement, as riding a geared bike is just not fun anymore. Problem is - I REALLY liked this model, for the well trumpeted advantages:
Can take mudguards (yes - I do use them)
Can add rack for panniers (I rode from Scotland to London with them)
They have a comfortable geometry
Now the last point is obviously the most important when riding long distance. I had a Pearson Touche which (while very nice in many respects) I found too 'aggressive' for me - I had to sell it at the end.
If I had the money I would just buy a brand new one from Condor. Being on a tight budget, I am looking for a second hand one. Unfortunately - they are quite rare and hard to find. Hence my question:
Which other make/model would be the best 'clone' for the Condor Tempo? I guess this relates primarily to the frame, as the rest can be whatever components I wish (or they come with...)
