here she is,james shepherds 94 condor

i did some custom decals for it and painted it a color changing purple/blue, it definatly pops! i wanted it to have the same colors as one of my fav hoffman shirts (the one in my avitar)
got some people to thank on this one.
members here,
EGG- for hooking me up sweet with the early love handles. Ian,your my hero

(and just to let you know,got the owner of kona/stonedge to let bikes back in after many years so whenever you on this side of the pond

)
RARMAN1- for selling me the super forks, thanks again

others for inside info,
jaybrand-for talking with james and getting the full lowdown on the history of this frame. i cant thank him enough for it

and paul murray- for helping out with a wealth of early hoffman ramp room info that only somebody that worked there could know,invaluable stuff. would love to see your 0005 condor next to my 0008

im gonna end up changing a small part or 2 on it but its pretty much gonna stay this way.

Love that paint - westcoast!

Excuse my ignorance but were those frames made by GT - that dropout looks very GT-like to me.

nope. made in hoffmans factory in okc. right next to the legendary ninja ramp

this vid going through the factory is a bit later,in 1995

Kind of a shame you didn't build it up to be how Sheps rode it, instead of it looking like something Kevin Robinson would ride.

rriiiiight

..................... ok,this is easy, ill take off the pegs on the right side,take off the gyro, de-decal it,throw some 9th st dirt on it and itll be spot on to how he rode it

maybe find a set of the 1 of 4 made family bikes bars........
