• *Price Drop - now 753 pounds

    Complete custom fillet brazed 753 made by Condor (57.5cm ctc st ; 55cm ctc tt)

    This ain't easy but, having recently moved to the Alps, I can't justify keeping this anymore. I'd prefer not to split, especially cos it rides so well as it is. I was hoping there's someone on here who will be able to enjoy it here in London (or anywhere) as much as I have. All parts are in excellent working condition and I've detailed any superficial wear below.

    It's currently at the Kernel Brewery where I used to work so if you would like to see in the flesh then Chun, a friend and brewer there, can help.
    price: £800 - Now 753 . pick-up only


    I'm 6,1". The slightly goose-necked appearance, in these admittedly shoddy instagram photos (more photos available on request), is owed to the stem height which was intended to take the strain off a back injury sustained at work. The result was so comfy I never reverted to previous (slammed + pursuits) set-up but I at least should have lowered it for the photos! Sticker on down tube is a bottle label (India Brown Ale -removable obviously). "Condor" is pantographed on fork crown and bottom bracket.

    Frame: custom Condor fillet brazed reynolds 753, built in 1998, for Forum member Tilover (he has some great pics of it), repainted Bob Jackson verdi (it is in great condition : true ; needs a real close inspection to find the odd paint chip ; there's a near-imperceptible ding in the tt (2mm wide and basically as shallow as the lacquer) in the top tube, I thought it was a scuff until examining it for sale ; one trackend has 1mm gouge, but not where rear wheel sits and would have no effect anywho ; fork is drilled for a brake)

  • Lovely - glws

  • Any chance you'd sell pedals seperately?

  • holy moly - wish this had been available a week ago, would have grabbed it...

    glws - good price for that spec

  • Just to say, Kernel make some ridiculously hoppy and tasty IPAs, so if you've had anything to do with that, good luck with the sale! If not, good luck anyway. :)

  • you should PM IndraRipper.

    he needs this.

  • amazing.

  • Beautiful, I have to admit though it's slightly too small and I've got 0 moneys left after buying my new frame.

    Again fucking lovely and good luck with the sale!

  • Any chance you'd sell pedals seperately?

    not really man, at least not yet. It's in ride away condition as it is.

    I'll give you a heads up if that changes

  • Sell me the saddle

  • Cheers guys. Yeah I'd say I'm near the top end height wise at 6,1"

    Apollo your yellow steed ain't so bad either!

  • Sell me the saddle

    Ha - That saddle is ridiculously comfortable.

    I'll be getting a new one for the road bike I buy to replace this no question.

  • Really nice bike. I'd like to have the frame & forks should you split!

    Are the forks oval or round section? Look oval but just checking ... could make a big difference to front braking flex...

  • ^ what skully said, split and sell me the saddle ;)

  • Such a lovely frame, glws. (forks look oval to me too)

  • Yep, oval

    The frames a beaut I agree - it's all thanks to Tilover for designing it and Condor for putting it together!

    I'll keep that in mind Skully

  • Just to say, Kernel make some ridiculously hoppy and tasty IPAs, so if you've had anything to do with that, good luck with the sale! If not, good luck anyway. :)

    Hops were where it all started for sure. I brewed there for a couple years with Evin and have seen it grow. Amazing people and attention to flavour. Since I left they are looking into doing some barrel ageing and some sours so things are really getting interesting. The hoppy beers will always be there though!

  • price drop

  • Damn bargain.

  • Lovely wish was a little bigger.

    :(

  • Beautiful bike.
    Im well tempted but it seems a little small for me, laterally speaking - Im just under 6,1.
    Anyone care to educate me on the geometry here? 55 cm seems like a pretty short top tube for a 57.5 cm st.

  • I'm 6'2 and have ridden a 55 top tube before, depends on bar setup and personal preference really. I would buy this in an instant if I didn't already have an 853 track bike with very similar setup.

    I reckon with the layback post you could always fit a longer stem for more reach? Only way to answer it is to have a look?

  • For accuracy's sake I'm actually 6'1.5.
    The geo is tight for sure, the gaps are teeny. which is part of what makes it turn like a flea through the traffic.

    TM's right, loads of ways to buy some cms if you need but best is to try it.

  • Would you consider shipping this at all?
    If so, any chance of some more photos?

  • Would you consider just selling the frame, if so how much for?
