good luck with that seat post mate

And yup, 16mm drops - but luckily Mark knows a man...

Alex - thanks mate, all leads to track down those other F&F's would be awesome mate - and thank you for all your investigation!

Luckily, the guy knew what is was, so he got the right money for it on ebay.

So, all's good!

only because someone told him what it was as he was going to take the 30 quid i offered but had too many pm for it

as soon as i saw it i knew it was a condor with late forks ,pleased you got one as you been asking about mine for a while . will build mine again one day if ever find forks

i have a picture of phil evans riding at the rom jam in 99 in a ride mag i was reading earlier

and probably all the hoffmans came from backyard, as they were most likely the only importer back then

get the picture man...

theRuler · « **Reply #153 on:** February 26, 2007, 08:53 AM »

not sure that flatland pic earlier in this thread is phil evans?
i remember him more as an old school rider.

i'll try and take a pic of the rom pic with my phone later

oberonspacefruit · « **Reply #154 on:** February 26, 2007, 09:00 AM »

no, i wasnt sure either, but it was gleaned from typing in google images

phil evans bmx

then his name is on the page as prince of concrete, but thats 2002.....

theRuler · « **Reply #155 on:** February 26, 2007, 09:04 AM »

oberonspacefruit · « **Reply #157 on:** February 26, 2007, 09:06 AM »

he probably rode in 2002

KOC was always a bit of an old school reunion

Stodgy · « **Reply #159 on:** February 26, 2007, 09:29 AM »

Yeah, I didn't think that flatland pic was Phil Evans, as he definately rode the condor in that comp...come on then Grae - let's have that Rom pic!

rather than starting a new thread, i thought i'd contribute to this one

, just got this condor delivered yesterday, wonder if anyone can tell me what year it is? Serial number is KFI01452

oberonspacefruit · « **Reply #161 on:** February 27, 2007, 11:47 AM »

looks 96/97

Stodgy · « **Reply #162 on:** February 27, 2007, 11:56 AM »

Yep 96/97 Taiwan made with 1" Superforks and stem.

Saw that one on Ebay - get it built! Both me and Fruity have one of those, they are real nice!

scooby74 · « **Reply #163 on:** February 27, 2007, 12:08 PM »

excellent chaps, thought it might be - does anyone have any decals available as mine has no fork decals and the frame decals are scuffed in places?

mark this kris gack i take it he carried on making or modifying products into the later 1990s
like the peregrines as ive a couple of sets of the phat jack 10/14 slotted vershions with big bearings
and much fatter spokes,they are that big they dont fit any other peregrine rim.so did
they /he get them specialy made or would you think peregrine made them for him.

Are these the ones you got off me at Xmas Epic? I should be able to find the history on them if they are as they came from a kid round my way.

harris · « **Reply #168 on:** February 28, 2007, 05:57 PM »

no the ones igot from you where 1 front peregrine hub ,2 rears a pair of superpro wheels rear was a sealed haro hub.

Little Update...

After some intensive investigation by lord Fuzzy of the Nod and myself (mainly Mark to be fair!), we can conclude that this is indeed a 1993 Ramp Room Condor with the revised thicker drop-outs, pegbosses and headangle. The changes were annouced in late 1992 and marketed as the 93 Model.

so is it the grail?
or does the search go on for a 92 model?

oberonspacefruit · « **Reply #172 on:** March 05, 2007, 10:34 AM »

head angle not as relaxed as you thought then?

Nope, doesn't look like it. We need to do final measurements, but I believe it was only the SE built ones with the lazy headtube.
