Thanks for to those of you who have made positive comments. Just to clear a few points up. I had this for sale on Ebay which is where I sell parts which I have used (I do NOT deal in bike parts or buy to sell I just can't resist buying , using , changing bits etc -you know the deal sometimes I make money often I lose a little)
I was offered £425 plus postage (I can prove this to whoever buys this frame) but I had reservations about sending to China even though the guy had a super feedback rating, from both a postal and moral standpoint. So I removed it from sale and put it on here - I am happy to accept an amount which will give me what I would have got from the Ebay sale (after donation to forum) - everyone should benefit.
As to the frame being worth only 250 to 300 - just spend a minute or two and look on this or any forum or Ebay and see what kind of track frame you can actually buy for that sort of money - occasionally a bargain - very often good but run-of-the-mill mundane or an obscure brand or somewhat damaged frame.
This IS a rare frame in exceptional , original condition for it's age and rides very nicely (including at Calshot monoglaze ! ). I've just bought a brand new NJS Umezawa to race and cannot justify hanging on to the Condor or risk damaging it - If I was not racing I would certainly be keeping the Condor and it always got a lot of attention.
I actually reckon it's worth a lot more than I'm asking (Also comes with lovely SR Royal BB) - as a friend of mine who deals in rare watches says "find another one cheaper"
Cheers Si
