The Condor has landed

Just waiting for spacer kit from HED so i can get a working chainline on the rear disc, then shes will be ready to roll . . .

Many thanks to Eyebrows for the frame, and Brian for the rear disk. Just need to decide if i get a white or black chain, erring towards black as i think white might be a step to far . . .

invisible chain

That is a BEAST of a bike, nice one.

What chainline you going for, i got one of them sugino cranks, just flipped the chainring to the inside of the spider last night and now its dead on 42mm is a lot quieter than when it was on the outside.

good stuff :)

thats the slackest chain i've ever seen, It's like it's not even there

invisible chain

If only . . maybe Tynan can make one? :)

that's nice man. what model frame is it? I was in Condor yesterday lunch time and they had one of those downstairs, very nice indeed.

Its a Lavoro

shimano dx pedals too, old skool so i take it that'll be your regular commuting / street bike !! ?

isn't the front wheel hevier then the rest of the bike.

If only . . .

Love the WAC sticker on the disc valve hole, I tried to do the same at the Smithfield Nocture on my Hed3 but Wayne wouldn't let me :(

You, my son, have one fucking wild bicycle, I hope one day to do the traffic light stare with you.

came out nice. need to swap out headset with a chris king, not sure how you do it with an integrated.

The HED track spacer kit should put it at 42mm . . . not enough room to flip it, i even tried putting a SS on the frewwheel just so i could take it for a spin but still too far out. Expecting the spacer tomorrow.

Not possible :(

FSA do some pretty cool integrated headsets.

^^^ don't think you can. Be interested to hear how this rides - think it could be a bit of a bone shaker. Looks great tho - was sorely tempted by this frame myself.

Your front tyre logo isn't aligned with the valve. Fail.
Flat pedals. Fail.
Shiny black and red stuff. You win! :)

That is a lovely looking bike. I like it alot, enjoy!

umm

I put in an old wheel to test it . . . it has Bontranger Buzzkill bar ends in it which work a treat, and have the convenient side effect of matching the bike. I cant wait to drop the hammer on her, and aslong as its fast i dont care what the rides like . . . I ride this round London (no rear suspension) so boneshaking aint a problem:

I know, i know . . . luckily i am off to the powder coaters thisavo to get my other pedals (old durace with cages) done to match

black cranks for slavery win

Sort the pedals out
The paint on the sidewall will also come off with brake wear
Paint/spray the rear wheel sidewall black
Needs a black lever AND black chain

Other than that, good effort, nice looking bit of kit. 8 over 10

Wasnt expecting the sidewall to be sprayed, but thats how it came from the factory . . have something special in the way of cranks en route . . .

Lookin' good!
Good luck in a crosswind, I have a hard enough time with a 'Spok on the front and bladed spokes on the back! ;)
