I tell you as soon as I'm in righteous employment again and have got a bit of cash behind me I'm going to build myself a hoffman. Fell in love with Fuzzy's white bike at Bristol then Dave's Flash. Would love an early condor though.

I have just been comparing you frame to my own which is an early SE built one it has the same thin drop outs and the small wall thickness peg tubes on the rear I would say that yours is of the same Vintage an early production frame from S.E. With the relaxed head tube angle at 70 degrees.They ride lovely on ramps.Mine was brought from Backyard in Hastings in August 92.As there is no sign of Chrome it would have been blue the closest Match is Peugeot indigo blue.The replacement of that tube is about 2 hrs work and with materials would cost £90 +VatA link to the pics of my frame and the work. http://www.radbmx.co.uk/forum/index.php'topic=22390.0Great find The Guy said it was the first one in France I dont think he was lying
after further inspection and paint scratching its clear that there is no blue on the fork legs apart from round the dropouts, there for indicating that they probably were stripped and maybe also the frame, so i thought i'd dig into the paint on the frame where stripper might not have got and low and behold inside the bottom bracket is some blue paint.. for mr stodgy, your theory was spot on except the cravat part, i reckon he was matching the colour of his beret. so blue it is then, although i wouldn't mind having the chrome forks like in the pics on that other thread..
