Hi guys.
Sadly I'm letting my Condor Pista 52cm go. Bought the lovely red Daccordi track bike a little while back and I have to make room and the doe-re-mi. Someone else will get joy from it more than I will now no doubt. It's a fantastic bike as anyone that owns them will no doubt tell you.
I had the frame powder coated at Armortex a while back with a very dark (nearly black) colour but with a subtle coloured flake. Think an aubergine colour. Someone described it best perhaps as "like a bike frame window looking through outer space". When the sun hits it, it's glorious and hard to capture in pictures but its something to behold. You get greens, reds and blues which don't really show on a grey day like today. Not too flashy but pretty special. It has a new condor badge from Gray's Inn Road. Paint is in good condition with the usual small scuffs and surface scratches but I'd rate the condition as 4 of 5. Nowt going through to the steel. There is a slight ding in the top tube (pictured).
The main issue with the sale is that the front Mavic ellipse FRONT is dented (see pics). I haven't ridden it but I imagine its fine it'll take a tyre and ride alright (sans brake) for a bit. I'm not pricing including that so either take it or bin it. Rear is perfect. Only ever had a 18t condor sprocket on one side. Other threads unused.
The bike is light as a feather, steel, rear clearance super tight running as is 46/18 ratio with 23 tyres. I'm 5'9" and it'll take someone a couple of inches either way I reckon. Photos could be better but it's a cloudy day. I'll take more if needs be.
**

Forks: 60th anniversary (I think) carbon. Space for a brake.
Cranks: Miche Primato (logos worn off from use but work as new).
Chainring: 46t Gehard Chainring. Not much wear.
Pedals: Wellgo platformy pedals (worn) with hold fast straps (about a million years of life left in them).
Brakes: None but can probably dig a front brake out for a tenner if need's be...
Seatpost: Miche Supertype 27.2 (black). Some wear but could be touched up.
Handlebars: Profile Airwing 40cm with BLB plain black rubber grips.
Headset: Cane Creek

Sprocket: 18T Condor.
Looking for £600 for the lot... £550... now £535... final price before going elsewhere £525
Let me know your thoughts people of LFGSS. Collection from Walthamstow E17 but can potentially lug it to Shoreditch (it is light after all) if needs be.
Also after a touring bike for winter. Would negotiate for a swap or part-ex for a nice 54cm (max) tourer.
More pics here including tyres, different builds with risers / alt. saddles etc.
