haunted hoffmans....condor stuff

[condor96]

some builds and other upcoming stuff

later model 97
bought from original owner as a complete, first of the oversized 1 1/8 frames,super fork and stem,6th gen one inch love handles,early high roller 48h wheelset with the gack badged girthy hubs (3/8 f  14m rearand rims. got the add on condor blue glitter seat made by velo,nos hoffman pegs,nos decals that ive had for years, profile 180 3pc and imperial sproket,haro multisurface 3 tires and dx pedals, primo rod seat post, dave osato grips. still gonna put a gyro and front brakes on it,but pretty much how i was gonna build one back then,im pretty happy with it, i think it came out awesome!    serial #cibc7fo640   if anybody needs scans of these decals i got them.







97 condor ff with the 14mm front and rear with the big front dropout. ok,this one is kind of weird. i knew of this bike when it was brand new 11 years ago. i just recently bought. when i was cleaning and polishing it gettin rid of a bit of shed rot(tiny surface rust) i was about to rip off the vans sticker on the bottom of the chainstay wishbone,after a min i was thinkin where ive seen that b4? on this exact ff color combo with the same vans sticker in the same spot.i rode some with this exact ff when it was built up new. it freaked me out like it found me years later i rode it once years ago and havent seen it since like 98 lol. i dont know how that happened. has been sitting around for years in garages and sheds. i remember the first mark that the decals got when new. love it, polished up real nice! will be built up nice! thanks to neon at bmxmuseum.com for selling to me right after he bought it from lou. and a big thanks to egg

and after a real good many hours long polishing...

I really like those late Condors as it happens, shame you never see anyone riding one these days   

My late american Condor (95.5) has those same red/orange stickers

thanks! my orange one had those same stickers to bitd when new. the ff im gonna try and build it up to exactly how i built it up bitd.(i had an identical setup that matt had from mid 96-mid 97 which is weird,i swear these bikes have a soul lol)  i still ride my orange one every time i ride (almost everyday) and i dont take it easy on it.

I needed a change after 11 years on Condors, so my frame now hangs quietly in my garage.  I wouldn't rule out a new one at some point in the future though

Bargain!  especially as we're at 2 dollars to the pound right now.

Sadly, I have no money due to just buying something else to ride....
