Fixed - Condor

Bit of an off chance, but has any one got any experience with a
Condor Pista Steel fixie? I'm thinking of buying one this winter to
replace my ancient and venerable fixie (*)

(*) Based on a Raleigh Roylale touring frame. Would fit rider of ~6 (I'm
6' 1". Very cheap to good home.

Don't get me wrong, perl is an OK operating system, but it lacks a
lightweight scripting language -- Walter Dnes

I might be interested in your venerable Royal. Its a 25" frame isn't it
? You disposing of the whole bike or just the frame ?

Whole bike ex-pedals. Drop me an email and we can sort something out.

I don't want much for it - it's had a lot of use!

Condor made my grass track frame (631 tubes). It wa loosely based
around the Pista, but with extra clearances for 'grass' tubs.

Rides very nicely.
Can email a photo if you want

Ah. Interesting. What's the paint job like? I'd be abusing this over the
winter so a tough paint job is needed.

Condor do some nice paint jobs (we have 6 of their bikes). I would say
it is robust, especially if you tell them how the bike is to be used,
they would put extra lacquer coats on for you

That's a very nice touch, though I presume it's only available on the custom
frames. But still good to know.

Cheers,

Arthur

It used to be that if you took any old hack iron in to Condors for a
respray they would put Condor transfers on it.
