As for being in perfect working order, Entropicp picked up his Potenza complete with a couple of scratches and a dinged hub. I hope standards aren't slipping, especially as their prices are pretty sporting...
Just to clear this up, Condor did replace the scratched stem and brake lever when I mentioned it and they agreed to build a new wheel to rectify the dinged hub, so that is fair play on Condor's part.

Lead time is a slightly galling 4-6 weeks. Kind of annoying when I see loads of people out enjoying good cycling weather...
Yeah, they quoted me 5-6 weeks. I ordered mine in the beginning of May so mine should be ready soon. The wait has been brutal.

@summerson- was your potenza off the peg or a custom build? If so, how long was the wait time they quoted?

You sure the Uno hubs are rebranded system-ex. They look nothing like them:

I thought they looked more like Miche Primato Hubs.
I actually went for the Condor uno rims instead of the Miche on my wheelset because I prefer deep-V's. The difference in price was only 3p. Hopefully I didn't make a poor decision. Their house brand stuff actually looked quite nice IMO, e.g. seatposts and brakes. I just went for the Sugino cranks as well. £50 extra cost didn't really justify the weight difference for commuting use for me.

I ordered a Potenza from Condor a few weeks ago with the rebranded hubs. They said they were Sugino and they looked nothing like the formulas. Hope this helps slightly as I would like to get more info too,
I went through ETA (http://www.eta.co.uk/). They seemed to have the best balance of cost and terms and conditions. You have to pay an excess unlike Cycleguard but the coverage is more thorough since Cycleguard will only replace whole bikes and not wheels, forks whatever else thieves want to steal these days. I ended up paying £105 for £925 worth of cover.
