I have a half tin of paint here from Joe you can have mate, I'm spraying my second one blue, but have bought acrylic enamel rattle cans for it.

PM me your address buddy and I'll send it to you together with that 'A' brake.

Nearly a full flock of condors. Or would it be a brood, a gaggle, a swarm.

Ahh fond memories

looking good there dude! I remember I had my rear dropouts thickened up to 10mm bitd! Also my forks 'pinged' clean off on a disaster of a disaster

just stepped off the back & my front end was hanging in the trans by the brake cable... fook knows what happened to my frame $:-\$

if you want you can borrow mine so you can get some closure on that trick with a condor

dave-- why are you doing it with rattle cans? i know a good technique for getting paint out of a can into a jar if you need it.

I have a couple of niggles (don't hit me) but if there is one bike in the world that doesn't need a layback it a gen 1 Condor!!!

....and i'm not sure what kind of stem is on there but i don't think it suits, you need a TNT or a mallet.

Just my opinion and i'm more aware than anyone that it's worthless.

all comments welcome, i have laybacks on most of my bikes. i always have done cos i'm a lanky cun t. i've actualy got a gt mallet from bitd but i hate them and think they are the ugliest bmx part of all time. the peregrine one goes with the theme and i had one on my bully piston in about 92 and if i did have a condor back then it probably would have gotten this stem put on it.
