stodgy! ur expert knowledge on all things condor-ish is required over here!

seriously though, looks pretty similar to my '99 version (positively id'd by dave

)

is that a gyro tab welded to the headtube? apart from that (which mine doesn't have) it looks pretty similar.

Are you getting it to ride or restore?

That one looks like a 2000/01 because of the Gyro tabs...bloody brilliant frame, strong as they come and the best welding in the business.

I'll input more when I get home...

They are not light, but then again, my one complete is no more than 28-30lbs complete with Gack High Rollers (which aren't light either!)...

for info: my 99 frame just weighed in at 3.1kg (6lb 11oz ish) - ain't too bad, really. I used to ride a 7lb+ macneil Miron frame with tuffs...

all the young weight weenies in their girl's jeans would hate it now though...

buy it greg, you know you want to...
