For accuracy's sake I'm actually 6'1.5.
The geo is tight for sure, the gaps are teeny. which is part of what makes it turn like a flea through the traffic.TM's right, loads of ways to buy some cms if you need but best is to try it.

2 more bikes for sale at the Kernel Brewery (besides the 753 custom track: http://www.lfgss.com/thread111109.html and Lynskey road titanium: http://www.lfgss.com/thread111191.html)
Just looking to garner interest and perhaps a sale or two before they go on retrobike or ebay. Offers over £1000 each. thanks
First up is a Pinarello 1981/2 top-end, pre-Montello model 58cm ctc st (http://velosvintage.over-blog.com/article-velo-pinarello-inoxpran-1982-103772226.html) It is full super record spec except brake callipers which are Galli. It has pantographed chainring, stem, gear levers, seatpost. In stunning condition and ready to ride on wolber alpines and new deda tre corsas, complete with super record pedals. Even the white campy brake hoods are crack-free, albeit a little smudged.
Second is the large 61.5cm 1983 Guerciotti super record (http://veloclassics.blogspot.fr/2011/09/early-1980s-guerciotti-i-havent-posted.html), rarer still than the Pinarello and with even more pantographed components, including the brake levers and callipers, the Guerciotti trademark. It has some chips to the paintwork and there is some paint peel at the bottom bracket (cinelli stamped). It is on tubs on record hubs

This one. Thanks
-
Indeed. Thanks gents
I'll find some photos of frames online. I can get pics of this particular frame in the next few days but they won't add much

Size: LARGE 57.3cm top tube
I bought this frame from Pistoffski last year and since then it has literally been hanging, unbuilt, on a wall while I decide how I am going to build it up. It's gutting but I have to let this frame go along with some other favourites as circumstances have changed.
Like Pistoffski said, it is in excellent condition. No real point in photos even. I hope you agree because it is in the UK and I'm not.
I'm not sure how Lynskeys have depreciated or appreciated.. I paid him 600 bob for it. Would someone like it for a bit less? Say 550? They still make the Cooper to the same spec. It's a lovely thing.
It's the cloverleaf model. Here's Pistoffski's original post: http://www.lfgss.com/thread85608.html
Cheers very much

Just to say, Kernel make some ridiculously hoppy and tasty IPAs, so if you've had anything to do with that, good luck with the sale! If not, good luck anyway. :)
Hops were where it all started for sure. I brewed there for a couple years with Evin and have seen it grow. Amazing people and attention to flavour. Since I left they are looking into doing some barrel ageing and some sours so things are really getting interesting. The hoppy beers will always be there though!
-
Yep, oval
The frames a beaut I agree - it's all thanks to Tilover for designing it and Condor for putting it together!
I'll keep that in mind Skully
-
Sell me the saddle
Ha - That saddle is ridiculously comfortable.
I'll be getting a new one for the road bike I buy to replace this no question.
-
Cheers guys. Yeah I'd say I'm near the top end height wise at 6,1"
Apollo your yellow steed ain't so bad either!
-
Any chance you'd sell pedals seperately?
not really man, at least not yet. It's in ride away condition as it is.
I'll give you a heads up if that changes

*Price Drop - now 753 pounds
Complete custom fillet brazed 753 made by Condor (57.5cm ctc st ; 55cm ctc tt)
This ain't easy but, having recently moved to the Alps, I can't justify keeping this anymore. I'd prefer not to split, especially cos it rides so well as it is. I was hoping there's someone on here who will be able to enjoy it here in London (or anywhere) as much as I have. All parts are in excellent working condition and I've detailed any superficial wear below.
It's currently at the Kernel Brewery where I used to work so if you would like to see in the flesh then Chun, a friend and brewer there, can help.
price: £800 - Now 753 . pick-up only
I'm 6,1". The slightly goose-necked appearance, in these admittedly shoddy instagram photos (more photos available on request), is owed to the stem height which was intended to take the strain off a back injury sustained at work. The result was so comfy I never reverted to previous (slammed + pursuits) set-up but I at least should have lowered it for the photos! Sticker on down tube is a bottle label (India Brown Ale -removable obviously). "Condor" is pantographed on fork crown and bottom bracket.
Frame: custom Condor fillet brazed reynolds 753, built in 1998, for Forum member Tilover (he has some great pics of it), repainted Bob Jackson verdi (it is in great condition : true ; needs a real close inspection to find the odd paint chip ; there's a near-imperceptible ding in the tt (2mm wide and basically as shallow as the lacquer) in the top tube, I thought it was a scuff until examining it for sale ; one trackend has 1mm gouge, but not where rear wheel sits and would have no effect anywho ; fork is drilled for a brake)
BB: Phil Wood
Headset: Chris King, black
Cranks: Sugino 75, 165mm, black (slight rub on anodising by pedals)
Chainring: Sugino 75, 47t, black
Pedals: Time atac XS Carbon (couple light marks)
Chain: Shadow conspiracy V2, black
Bars: burly alloy fixed-freestyle bars with 1.5" rise and cloth tape, black
Hubs: Phil Wood, 36h, black (rear is fixed-fixed)
Sprocket: Phil Wood 19t 1/4 (I think. could be 18. can check)
Lockring Phil Wood
Rims: Rigida DP18, brushed (need a wash, some marks)
Rear tyre: Conti Gator Hardshell (newish)
Front tyre: Conti 4 seasons (newish)
Stem: Cinelli 100mm black (could be 110mm can't remember) (light marks)
Saddle: Fizik Arione Versus, black (one scuff)
Seatpost: aero, alloy, black (light marks)Cheers. Chrigl

Witnessed an odd and moderately dangerous riding style from a tall bloke on a '12 Histogram with speedplays on the morning commute from Grays Inn Road onto Clerkenwell Road.
Barely altered his changed his cadence, steamrolling through potential hazards in dense traffic and open road at the same speed. Never doubted anyone hadn't seen him. And never doubted they would wait until he had passed. Sort of a jaded by morning traffic so russian roulettes it via slow motion alleycat moves.

Absolute stunner from BBBs. Risers alone bringin it in here

another vote for ideale's satan design. would be good on the back of the shirt with just a small lfgss on front?
some fauna would be good too like a rat or a pigeon incorporated somehow. must learn to draw.

Turning on to Jamaica today I was in the Bus Lane, accererating along with a van who was one lane over in the regular lane.
Being diagonally behind the leading van I was in the blind spot for anyone coming the other way who wanted to turn right, across our lanes, into a side road.
Lo and behold a cyclist turned abruptly across my path towards said road immediately after the van had passed him without checking to see if there was anything following it (me).
Would've absolutely clattered him had I not yelped/swerved etc.Fucking blind spots. I'm gonna try and remain more visible when following big vehicles (especially at speed). I can sort of sympathise with the geezer who turned immediately after the van passed. I've been there, starting off to make a right turn the second after a bus passes you, only to find there was someone following it. Phew.
