Thats cool and the gang, Fuzzy.

Without offending any other forum members and their good work, I would call yours a 'proper' restoration, if you know what I mean....

Job is most definately a good 'un

excellent job Fuzzy, well done mate. I saw that frame at Charlton a few times and know what sort of state it was in. Good on ya man for bringing it back from the dead. You should send the pictures and story to Hoffman bikes.

as far as i am concerned that is bike of the year. i don't think anything will touch that for me.

BUT
if anyone fancys doing a similar job on a condor that is equally as fooked as darren claggetts old one ( i don't know darren but i remember him winning at southsea on it) then as stokebloke says, there is an old se made condor here in stoke that i know i can get my strangely shaped hands on.
it's/was? chrome, has the original forks and is as stokebloke already stated it is incredibly fooked, to my knowledge probably more fooked than mr claggetts i remember craig, previous owner and my old riding buddy had to reweld around the peg mounts cuz they was wrecked grinding and the forks didn't look straight/well at all to be fair the last time i saw the bike and he used to go through headsets like they were peanuts to an elephant, so i dont think the head tube is going to be playing like a gentleman.
it will be a seriously difficult resto as was the one fuzzynod has done
pm me if you are interested. it won't be expensive because as i say it's fooked and if it's going to be restored to the standard of fuzzynods then i'll be more likely to make sure it goes your way

Hey wirewheel - give me a shout about that condor F&F mate...

Thanks for all the amazing comments guys, can't wait to let you all see it in real life.
The next step is to let Darren Claggit the original owner have a ride on his old bike.
Not sure whether to do another one
But Wirewheel you have a Pm

I hope you've still got this one as well Fuzzy. Best bike at Bristol last year if you ask me.

Top story and top build. As mentioned by the others, its great to hear the full story of the effort put into a build like that. Im ashamed to say that I don't look through the 'Freestyle' section much but glad I did today. Top job mate, you have done yourself proud!!!

really top build matey

i find this era of freestyers real interesting, as i wasnt riding at the time and its when the engineering and durability really came into its own! proper ground breaking bike!
