Condor's guardian angels

According the Condor website my Pista has angels; lots for the seat tube and more for the head tube. Actually all Condor bikes seem to have angels. Very reassuring!

I wonder if my 2007 model has angels? I just took it for its debut ride and it was surprisingly nice.

^The minute you started calling it the Cuntdor, meant that it's angelic roots were lost for good ;)

It was known as the Cuntdor before I even picked it up I think :)

^Needs stickers

Hassle murtle.. ;)

what's with the two brake cables?

Your eyes are fucked man..

?

Just messin'.. :P

They were Bobob's road bars. They still have two cables on them. I've just wedged the rear outer into the caliper for now until I decide to cut it off or use it or smoke it or whatever..

Angels aside, what do you think of the design (colours, graphics)? It seems they're getting uglier and uglier every year. I liked the look of the 2007s, but thought the 2008s were kind of generic. The black one even looked a bit like a Langster. I think these 2009s are hideous. Although the white looks a little better than the black. The Classico Pista looks alright, though.

I thought you were talking about their website colours ;)

How much better does it feel than the Langster? A bit? Lots? Worse?

At least they got rid of the page turning thing or whatever on their website.

the 08s were the same as the 07 apart from a red stripe.. i like my navy 08, personally.

well, it's steel compared to Alloy, so it's going to feel pretty different.

Yeah, they added a red stripe and then got rid of the baby blue. And I believe the grey one was a darker shade of grey.

they didn't really improve them, i agree with that.

and this years are really really awful. baby thrown out with bath water.

I thought the red was just one colour too much. I liked the Navy the most... I almost bought one, actually. The new ones look like they could be an SE or a Swobo or something.

i have the Navy, and i have to say the red stripe has grown on me a lot, to the point where i see the 07 and i miss it.
i agree though that it only really worked on the blue, and not on the black or grey.

i think this years Squadra is the only one i like much - none of the others have improved, and many look worse.

this years look shit. they reused the potenza name for a cheap frame when it used to be the posh deda eom16 track frame which they haven't really replaced.

that too.

classico used to be gorgeous, looks shit now. what are they doing?!

have to say i think i prefer the new classico.

the old one never really did it for me.

I have the 08 Navy and love it. Have never ridden any other fixed so can't compare. My other bike is a geared Litespeed and it is getting less and less use!
