[kuwahero]

[glenboy]

i'm not so much into the new stuff but in this case i'll make an exception, that is      , bet that rides lovely 

[Betty]

I'm sorry and i know i'll get flamed for saying so but i don't like it  

Those bars look awful, change em for some 2 piece and pull em back in line with the forks, and lower that flag pole  

You can't please everyone  

[dubber]

Awesome...

[Discostu]

im looking forward to seeing both of these built up.  these retro condors are all starting to come together now. i didnt think they would be sought after so much being based on a mid school bike.  im really happy i got mine.  

[fugazi]

Nice to see another chrome Condor frame   maybe a bit too much bling though, is it to look at or ride?

[Robbo]

Very nice Mr Timms. 

[lk_97]

no worries. i wanted to keep it in the style of the 90's original condors.  The bars are one of my favorite bar sets of all time. so for me it was a good excuse to use them.  i knew it wouldnt be everyones cup of tea but im happy with the way it came out.

that's what matters stu, as long as you like it!

[Toblerone]

Nice

I can see how the bars are dividing opinion, but i like them

[GavinDavis]

Awesome!!  Well done Stu!

[Peter J]

Really like this 

The attention to detail is amazing 

The bars are a bit "marmite" but for this build I think they work really well 

[Mdbh]

The only thing I'd change is the seat ithink it looks a bit small compared to bars etc but apart from that very nice!

[whatquid]

lovely bike man.......saw paul meachers one yesterday in chrome, sooooo nice....!!!!

[welsh denny]

s & m are apparently doing long pivotal posts now in chrome to go with the flatland range they are producing- long johnson i think its called.  

[Gtbill]
