The Condor has landed

Wasnt expecting the sidewall to be sprayed, but thats how it came from the factory .

Cos it's supposed to be used brakeless, if you bought machine sidewalls for brakes then it would still have the silver machined trim - like the rear. Get a can on the rear to match it up with the front

Stealthy bastard. Looks great mate!

8 over 10

hard man!

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

Also some proper cranks. Black Sugino 75 would be nice. That bike is almost screaming for a Nobrake.

8/10 Slavery
4/10 Function
2/10 componentry

do condor have 'em in stock or didja have to order?

I got my black Suginos in Condor, bound to have the cranks at least...

he's taken more bits to armourtex today ;)

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 :(
I still can't believe that Brian let me put that sticker on the wheel.

i don't get it. there's lots i don't get about it, in fact.

it's a confused and scared bicycle.

what exactly is it for? really?

Hehe knew you'd love it PJ.

Pretty much what was happening to me down Brixton Road over the winter... Definitely sharpens the mind and strengthens the wrists... ;)

You can still run straps with them those pedals. Most BMX / platform mtb pedals follow the good old DX design now so they are easy to get hold off in lots of different colours.

do those buzzkill things really work? my hands have been suffering a bit riding with flats rather than drops.

sorry - have you put a top tube pad on this bicycle?

is this a joke?

(i'd like to add that i do like the frame and most of the parts, just not in this order)

in agreement re. black chain, btw

Love that frame... nice work.

he didn't build the frame.

I specifically built up the bike the way it is to annoy you PJ - and just to really piss you i am having a custom Kantana lo pro built up later in the year, which i will never ride, but put it and the Condor on the roof of my range rover sport (custom number plate F1 XIE) which i do a daily circuit from BLB to Spitafields in twice a day.

I have some carbon cranks coming for it, the track spacing kit from HED now comes with a lockring . .

The bike serves no purpose other than to put a smile on my face, its dressed up for a night on the town in the pics, but i have a set of black open pros laced to formula hubs for the humdrum of day to day riding

I have used them on my ss mtb (full rigid) for a while and they do take the edge off
