Pics nicked from http://www.thebreakaway.cc/

The website only says finished in Italy. I was told the frames themselves are all made in Taiwan.

Speaking withe the guys at condor (I am waiting an Acciaio frame) they told me that steel frames are mame in Italy. "Our frames are built using Dedacciai tubesets in our Italian factory" (here)

The steel frames are made in Italy by a builder called Bonetti: http://www.telaibonetti.it

And the aluminium frames are made by Visual (who used to make Willier's and still makes some of their carbon test models): http://www.visual-bike.com/

I can't remember who made their carbon frames but it's also based in Northern Italy. All are very good experienced frame builders.

Does anyone know where I can get a black Fratello frame from?

I keep getting emails about this, and getting confused http://www.condorwatch.org/

New Condor Acciaio matt black (custom paint scheme), 52.
Campagnolo Athena (Chorus shifters) and Zonda wheelset.
Fizik finishing kit.

this thread urgently needs a pic of JCGarcia's track frame

Any picture?

Managed to pickup a small project, turned out nicer than I anticipated. First the album with the pics of how I first got the bike, quite a bad state, mechanically most of it was fine (What atrocious selection of bartape!)

And after a bit of tlc and overhaul of the bearings, new tape and chain.

Exchanged a couple emails with condor, and its apparently a 1996 custom made 'Sport Tourer'. Featuring almost full Campagnolo Athena.

Currently selling it locally because of space constraints. Would love to keep it, the paint is beautiful, metallic red, hard to capture on camera, and it rides like a dream !

thats a real beauty

Suppose I should probably post mine up, the Condor's been utterly lush to ride!

Has anyone got a photo of a good looking Condor Moda Ti?
A guy I ride with is selling one and I think it would be good for my wife but she says it's a bit ugly. I'm trying to convince her that with the right wheels, bars etc it can look good and ride nice.

I had Saturday the first service at Condor of my bike and I found it being the most complete and professional in London among the shops I tried

Shameless plug. I'm selling my Condor

sorry to bring down the tone of the thread.....

What do people think of the Lavoro?

Excellent

Excellent

apart from the name :)

I don't get it

I will never like my bike to be called "job" :)

Hah! I've ridden the velodrome ones and thoroughly enjoyed it but I don't have much experience with proper track bikes.

I'm thinking about aquiring one via ride-to-work for dual track/poncing about duty but people (the internet) seem to say it's not really suitable for the road...
