1995 Ramp Room Hoffman Condor (pic heavy)
« on: March 19, 2017, 09:24 AM »
I recently picked up this Ramp Room built '95 Condor off the bay for a great price.

It had been left sat outside for years and although still having og paint and decals was looking in a sorry state

Some eBay shots









A few pictures I took when I got it home
It had been sat in a garden for a good part of its life and was looking pretty sorry for itself.

















It had the good old acid bath treatment






And a sympathetic resto. Tried to keep as much as original as possible with a few subtle upgrades. Swapped out the GT PFT wheels for Superpro's and added GT stamped profile cranks, with Xposure grindisc, primo tenderisers and black wall v monsters.

Hope I did it some justice?








Already rides so much better then my early models and looking to use this one as a rider, not display piece.

nice work on that mate-like that you've kept the original paint,don't see many in that colourway  :4_17_5:


It's certainly an unusual colour for one.
It's one of only two silver ones I actually know of in existence and the only one I've ever seen including old magazine and photo shoots with red decals in silver / grey paint.

Lovely bit of resto that ... a repaint would have killed it.

Personally I'd fancy looking for a survivor set of pedals and grind disk to match the frame  :daumenhoch:

The pedals are actually pretty bashed up already, they're just too clean I think.
 I know what you mean re the bash guard, but maybe I'll have more fun trashing this one!

Be good to ride it, you don't want to just stand around talking about it or checking your dated cables Graham

Are the cables dated? And stretched?

That's very important

You wouldn't want to have slack cables from the wrong year on it, what on earth would the neighbours say?

Also very important to ensure that the tyres have just the right amount of wear on them  :daumenhoch:
