Right folks. I'm starting this thread for all radsters that have a Hoffman condor. From a gen 1 in 1992 to an anniversary 2012 model. Get your pics up of this iconic bike from the last 20 years. I know a few of you have Hoffman collections and some have the new 2012 model. Like me.

I want to use this thread as an inspiration for my condor build.

Nice

I'll get a pic up of My 2012 with My other Condors when it stops raining!

Great pics egg. I have seen your 2012 condor pics several times. But only just noticed its left hand drive. Lol
I've got to say that Hoffman did a pretty good representation of the original frame. With a new school geo and vibe.

i love it.just wish they had made forks too but i'm going to get mine powdered blue and probably switch the bars for chrome.it'll look a bit similar to how my gen 1 looked bitd.

My old 96

& my 2012

Discostu · « **Reply #7 on:** April 17, 2012, 09:11 PM »

Blooming heck look how big the tubing is on that 96! You kind of forget until you see them side by side. I love them both. Lovehandles on the 96

I also like the black rims etc on the blue 2012. It's a great match.

Discostu · « **Reply #8 on:** April 17, 2012, 09:15 PM »

Actually upon closer inspection they are not lovehandles. They are the 2nd generation of Hoffman low drags.

Great pics. How much did you sell the cracked frame for?

john4130 · « **Reply #12 on:** April 17, 2012, 11:32 PM »

over the last few years i've had a few people ask me if it was for sale, i never planned on selling it but realised it was too much work for me to restore and i couldnt find forks or bars for it. a guy off o here found out i had one and asked me if it was for sale, i told him to make me an offer. he offered £400 for it and i sent him the frame and anything that i still had that was original to the bike, so he got a tnt stem, odyssey pedals, part of a havok sprocket pocket and a couple of other bits for it. he sent me pics of the repairs and the rechrome and it looked brand new.

Looking good poggy!

Glynnyboy · « **Reply #18 on:** April 28, 2012, 04:45 PM »

Got to admit they are a lovely bike.
When i 1st started coming on here and looking through old threads Fuzzynod marks totally blew me away. That was more like a phoenix than a condor.

Ooh left and right hand drive twins!! Looking very nice. Liking the choice of fork decals.

Hopefully mine will be finished tomorrow.

I have seen a thread on here on when the frames were released, does any know or can confirm the numbers distributed to/in the UK ? 12 of each (blue and chrome) in 1 size and 6 of each in the other size ?
