Hi there , relatively new to this but need to sell my condor road bike conversion. Sadly its too big for me.

I converted it a while back but not used it much as its just too bg for me to feel comfortable on. Shame because i love the bike but being relatively new to it all i was nt confident enough on it so now have something smaller.

Its a reynolds 531 road bike frame , horizontal drop outs, mafac brakes, TA cranks, Ambrosio Rear singlespeed wheel bought new from brixton cycles, and is approx 22/23 inch frame.

Any questions please call or as i'm looking for around £180 for it, the rear wheel alone cost me £85 and its virtually brand new.I'm no bike expert so its really best you come and have a look but pics are enclosed .I want rid of as its just sitting around collecting dust when it should be being used!

call me on 07944490431 or mail me at shanetakman@hotmail.com. The bike is in maida vale for anyone interested in viewing.

Cheers

bump...

judging by how much seatpost is showing i'd say you were right.

For me it's the bloody hand prints on the wall that make me feel the bike is perhaps stolen.

Actually joking aside . . .

It's quite a nice frame, you might do well to raise the seatpost, it may help to make the object appear appealing to people.

£180 is a pretty good price too.

it's not stolen. i know this poster - he used to post under another name a while back. i have even seen this bike in the flesh. very much old school but nice enough.

good advice tynan.

:D - Only joking !! (and the blood stained hand prints are not real, honest !!) ;P

Cheers Jonny, yes its me Shane i bought that wheel set off ya, could nt get my other log in name to work so hence this one.

The bikes not stolen, is this because its cheap? I got it as a road bike and convereted to use it as a single speed but was just too big, bought a wheel set of Jony and made myself a fixie, now its just sitting around gathering dust , so figure best move it on to someone who could appreciate it and show the seat post some daylight!

Just putting a non-forum friend on to you now who is interested... His name's Dan.

good one skully. it's a decent bike at that price.
good to hear from you shane. hope all is cool.

It was a joke !

A racist joke.

argh damnit! why did i have to buy those bloody magic beans!! I would have bought this other wise :( ...someone buy it for me?

no! you shall be forced to ride your silly raleigh bike with it's tiny drop bars for eternity!

asm, don't you know? hael has got rid of his old raleigh and got hold of a lovely colnago. true true

Some of my best jokes are racist.

Cheers Skullhead Dans been in touch so hopefully we can sort something out. Jonny alls good, not been able to get involved as much as i've wanted to due to a hectic work load and now with a kid on the way even less time!

Was wanting to get involved with some polo even bought myself an old bob jackson frame (road frame) to to fix up and knock about on which i might have to move on too but would like to try and get it sorted. Can always hope i guess.

Tynan its ok bud, as they said in lock stock, " its a deal, its a steal,its the sale of the f**king century!"

I've just seen the condor, Dan seems pretty damn happy, its nice in the flesh (or rather tubes?)

I reckon I've brainwashed him into putting mudguards on it though... hah!
