Condor pista through the years-any changes?

Hah, so you did managed to keep the bar tape, I remember you saying something like "why waste a perfectly good bartape" when you recieved that handlebar with the tape and lever on it.

Nice painted toe nails Hippy!

' can you just hold it for me..while i take a picture...'

'what, seriously?'

'yeah, just a second.. no, straighter...that's it'

I still have those bars on it. I bought new bars for it and I'm too lazy to fit them.
It now has matching grey ATACs and a different, lower position oh and more scratches.

It took me ages to do those.

I wanted to document one of the only times you'll see my bike with a clean chain.
It's a Chubb chain.. no wait.. I mean Nexus. Bike Whisperer suggested them as a cheap alternative to track chains. 1/8th, cheap, galvanized or something to make it weather-resistant. It works a treat and I'd recommend them to others (if you can use a chain tool properly - no numpties should try anything I recommend lest they fuck up the install and blame the product).

you are correct. i was getting confused with the potenza.

You. Fucking. BASTARD.

It would appear this is all futile. The cat obviously knows best. Can't you see??

What are they like for noise? My (cheap and cheerful) Charge Masher is noisy as fuck and I'm looking for a replacement.

BMMF has found COOL Cat!

Mine is quite quiet when it has been lubed. It's quite noisy when it hasn't.
I don't mind the noise.. I use it as a warning to nodders that something fast is approaching and not to make sudden moves.

what about forks? are they always are carbon or some years they are steel?

well, carbon's the best one for weight and stiffness, as far as I remember (2006), they always have carbon, only the Potenza are steel (unless requested).

Sexy hips too... Never noticed before... More crop tops please, hippo...

Discovered last night that there are a number of differences between Hippy's 07 and the midget 08 pista

I'll post mine so you can haz a look.

AFAIK this is a 2005

And this is the 2009 aka Mars Bar bike.

I don't even know why they call the 2009 a "Pista". The geo is very relaxed, so much so it is my favorite bike to ride around on a daily basis as its so comfortable.

The Alu 2005 Pista EOM is much nippier. The rear triangle is pretty tight and acceleration seems faster. Its not very comfy though[t].
