For Sale: Condor Pista 52cm complete bike. Custom paint job. Dodgy front wheel.

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.

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.

Price drop to £550.

Are you likely to drop any further? Or split?

£535 perhaps? Offers anyone? I think this is a pretty fair price, no?

Would rather not split but open to offers I guess.

Love the bike - couldn't give you more than £300. waits to be dismissed

Can I see a detail of the dent on the wheel? How bad is it?

I'm afraid £300 is way below budget. If I can't shift I guess it'll wing its way to eBay than. Quite surprised but oh well.

Dent in the wheel looks like this. Runs slightly wonky.

Final price drop to £525 before advertising elsewhere. Would rather it go to a good home. Anyone?

Will you split?

Interested in frame depending on price.

Would rather keep it together. Have too many bits lying around the house as is so don't really want more still. I expect many of those will be going up soon too.

Will leave the bike up here til Wednesday and then will advertise elsewhere.

Thanks for response!

Get an adjustable spanner on that rim and bend it straight...no probs...

Evening
Have you sold this gem?

looks good

This gem isn't sold yet no. I'm surprised to be honest. Ah well. I'm going to list on eBay after today or tomorrow FYI so if there's any lurkers out there, hit me up.

Have a bump for a Condor...

£500 anyone?

Wow, nobody is biting on ebay even. Anyone for £400? Need some dosh now.

SOLD. Thanks guys.

Got my F. Moser racer on sale now... seen another Condor I want!
