For Sale: Condor 853 fillet brazed mountain bike, Deore & Rock Shox SID

As some of you know, I've been living in the country for the past year and this has done *very *sparse pub-run duty. Now that I'm back in the smoke, I have to face that it is too small for me.

To be transparent, I got this as a bargain - it was virtually unused and had genuinely had one lady owner - and I hope I'm passing it on at a fair price. The frame is a work of art and the whole bike rides beautifully. I am less than knowledgeable about mountain bikes though, so do call me out if you think it is priced North at £450.

• Beautiful Condor 853 fillet brazed frame - 14.5". The paintjob is in great condition and a very unusual pale green (does not photograph well, in the dark, with an iPhone. Sorry). There are a few marks - including one near the headtube and on the seat clamp (pictured) - but absolutely no dings or dents.
  
  

• Rock Shox SID Hydra Air

• Mavic F519 rims on Deore hubs, with Continental Vapor 2.1" tyres

• Full Deore groupset with a mechanical disk on the front and V-brake on the back, 3x9 speed with an Octalink crank

• Ti Flite saddle and generic 27.0 inline seatpost

• 100mm Thomson stem, unbranded carbon fibre bars, Profile design grips

I'm in SE23 and will give preference to collection for the time being; if you want to come round and see/ try the bike you are welcome. PM me any questions. Cheers

bargain

Too cheap!

That's the spirit! It is an absolute peach of a bike.

How tall are you Sammy Dodger. I am not knowledgable on mountain bike sizing.

Repped, for such a great bargain.

I'm 5'11'' and this is definitely small for me - I've always kept the seat post below the line of the seat tube cluster so it is at max extension as pictured

Bollocks. I woulda deffinitely taken this but sadly I am also 5'11".
Great deal for someone here.

There is a dibs on this pending fit.

Insane bargain.

What a bloody bargain !my best mate just paid nearly a grand for his 853 frame like this one .

That is lovely and my legs are too long and my riding is not nearly off road enough!

Good god, that is amazing.

Very well priced too!

Unfortunately this was too small for the prospective buyer so is up for grabs again

Dibs until the Mrs gets home?

How tall would the person be to fit this, in your opinion?

Much smaller than you bro!

(My housemate is 5'11" and he was the prospective)

Hey Dammit, I'd say there is a fair amount of leeway for anyone under 5'10" - probably ideal for someone 5'6" - 8" with a change of stem. Feel free to swing by and try it out.

This is real nice

The Mrs is 5' 5.5", sounds like she might be just too small?

Right, I've got back home and been trawling the web for completely subjective size advice - Dammit, it appears that Mrs. Dammit would be pretty much the ideal height for this, with a shorter stem.

Such a lovely bike. Gutted it didn't fit. Someone is gonna be very happy.

The Mrs, I am afraid she says no.

No trouble, thanks Dammit.
