Cheers Tim. Just done that. I was put off by the note on their site about not having records pre 2009
Fingers crossed -
I can get a frame, seems just what I'm after. Though it's been re painted and its identity lost.
It's thought to be a late 80's early 90's Condor. If so it's almost certainly a GS Racing (I've seen three identical on the net)
Condor state that the numbers for that time are four digit with the year first. This one is indeed four digit and starts 90--
So the million dollar question is, does anyone have an off the peg Condor of that age or that bike? to help me pin it down.It has Italia lugs, Allez drop outs (seen on two confirmed Condors that look the same) and the simple age correct four digit style serial number.
Thank you

Last month I saw a really nice 80'90's Raleigh hybrid to gravel conversion. Loved it. And I just happen to have a Raleigh Randonneur going .
Show me that steel and canvas. -
It was completed between march and December 2020. I had no money for the garden, so used reclaimed 70s slabs for the steps and path. And the turf was free as it was so late in the year.
Re wired, re plumbed, gas brought in, rendered, every wall and ceiling plastered. internal wood work renovated, all new D/G, three new bathrooms, new kitchen, wood burner installed, fully floored and decorated all in budget. Left me debt free and 50p in the bank! -
I wanted to keep it 1920s, but it was shot
Some pictures here. the top eyes are scalloped. The stay ends are also scalloped, as opposed to rounded off. Also the drive side inner stays are deeply scalloped (word of the day!) The BB is stamped 9030 also stamped on the steerer tube. And finally the Allez drop outs.
The Condor site says year first, then production number. Also Condor pantographing was on top models or custom requests. The concave eyes and Allez ends are found on a few off the peg Condors of that time.
Maybe it's the powder coat that makes it look tacky?
