Lyn Kastan designed the first condors .... maybe he made the very first gens of condors?

I'm confident the first Condors were made by SE.  I'm led to believe that the chainstay design (which is very SE looking) was done as a wee tribute, or recognition of some sort.

I would say that Harris'  Big Daddy was made in 94, or early 95 at the very latest.  My Condor was April 95 more or less and one one of the last of the ramproom models.

I checked in Mats Biography according to him Linn Kasten designed and built the first 5 Condors which Mat and co tested and tried to Destroy but when it came to production he could'nt afford Linns prices so He got Mike Devitt of S.E Racing to build the first production ones.But it was taking 6 months a batch for S.E to build them and he could feel the initial rush of orders waining as people wer'nt prepared to wait that long He also felt that the S.E guys would stop 1/2 way through a run to do someone elses work.So thats when they set up the ramp room machine shop with Steve Gack as foreman.
It would appear that the first brochure was published whilst the S.E frames were being produced and that was in 92 according to the book.My bike was bought by Darren Glaggit as a frame and forks from Backyard in Hastings in late 92.It matches exactly the one in the brochure and is I believe a S.E built frame.It has no frame number and the relaxed head angle of the early frames.

 

Check against the original Catalogue

Also I have a copy of the first Bmx Plus Test from November 92 Carried out by Chris Potts of Potts mod fame.

Check out the geometry on the last page these are the same as my bike so I think that maybe the S.E Condors at least did not have a frame number.
I hope this helps.
