Why no picture? I can't get it to download! But there is a picture in my "my bikes" gallery...
And why Condor transfers? I had this bike painted (by Atlantic Boulevard) a while ago and the folks at Shorters really were not very helpful about transfers (I am sure they are good folks maybe it was just a bad day!) and I had not discovered Lloyds yet, and I had some period Condor transfers.
Seemed almost appropriate given there are pictures of Alf with two different frame builders names on the same bike - a Shorter from the front but a Alec Bird from the side!
Anyway it is a proper Shorter with a custom built frame number (AWI) rather that one of the dated frame numbers.
Top spec frame - drilled dropouts, brazed on brake pivot bolts, drilled lugs, full brazings etc, very short with lovely close clearances.
Unmarked paint and forks rechromed by the the London Chroming Company.
Various parts NOS but can't remember which for sure!
Super Record 57t single ring on proper Pista cranks
Steel Pista bracket
Super Record rear gear and down tube lever
Super Record headset
Super Record seatpost
Super Record brake levers
Steel Pista pedals (have others if you prefer...)
Cinelli 1R stem and 66 bars (have some lovely 3TTT Gimondi if preferred)
3TTT saddle (NOS for sure!)
Weinmann 500 brakes cut down as period - but more neatly then then!
Regina Oro chain and NOS Sun Tour 14-18 block.Wheels in picture are C Record on Wolber but I have a set of very very rare Record 28s with the high drive side low off side rear hub...
It really is a thing of beauty!
Looking for £800 - and I know I am going to regret this...

I spoke to the guys at shorter a while back ( I have a newer ally framed shorter) apparently they don't have transfers anymore....all their frames are now painted with the shorter logo.........................that's what they told me..............GLWS
