finally got around to restoring my S.E made 92 condor.i got this new from bike pro in brum back in 92,rode it for a year and it's been in the shed up until recently when i thought i'd give it a tidy up.

me back in 92 at worcester indoor vert ramp.

this is the state i left it in.the drop outs bent in from icepicks so i took the grinder to them

stripped and ready for new dropouts to be welded on.

this is it painted and finished with repro decals (cheers stodgy) it's now hanging on the wall in my lads nursery

fugazi · « **Reply #3 on:** August 15, 2011, 03:28 PM »

Looks like a top job

do You know what colour, or the code it's done in?

egg · « **Reply #4 on:** August 15, 2011, 04:14 PM »

can't remember the ral code off the top of my head but i've still got some paint left at my friends workshop so i'll find out for you.

looks lovely

a friend has one in his loft which he's hoping to restore soon so the ral code would be handy

is there anymore news on the new school version of the condor?

i think that's it build wise as i've given up trying to find forks for it

it's mounted on the wall in my lads nursery and it'll probably stay there until he's old enough to stick it on ebay

I have forks for it

I'm real sorry, I've been after a frame for years so I'd never let them go, anyone interested in swapping a mint menstrual complete bike for a mk1 or 2 condor frame ?

Kind regards dont all shout at me at once
