hoffman condor - colour advice (no longer) needed - (more) pics added - FINISHED

<< < (2/9) > >>

Stodgy:
Looks around a 1999/2000 frame...not sure on the colours from that year...what do the graphics look like?

TwoBobRob:
I'd go a little earlier - it has the skinnier rear end....  I reckon  earliest 1995,  latest 1999.  I'm not sure when the fatty back ends came in, but I had a 2000 model which was a fatty.   :)

Stodgy:
I don't think the seat tube looks laid-back enough for 95 to 98 - unless it's my eyes playing games on me...

The sticker set would indicate a 98 +, but the red wasn't available in 98 and I believe they went to the more upright seattube in 1999...Rob, I agree with you on the fatty thing for 2000, so I still reckon a 99...(not that it matters - it's sweeeet, and I'm just trying to help identify!) -

Hope this helps!  :daumenhoch:

hey guys, cheers for your input.

bought the frame on ebay a coupla years back (bit of an impulse buy, and i don't recall it actually costing that much to be honest) and the same with the sticker set, which looks very like the one on Dave's scan (cheers for that - i don't have any mags from round that time, so it's cool to see)

it's got a 1 1/8" headtube, 14mm dropouts and i'll see what the serial no. is, to try and see what light it sheds, but the seat tube's definitely not very laid-back in comparison to the museum listings.

didn't get any forks with it, but i did get a set of D130 ones from cyclesport a while ago, which i was planning on using with it.
they're of a similar chunky build... and are a sort of metallic green colour, and i'm planning to use the "inspector" on the whole lot...

plus, i'm really wishing i hadn't gotten rid of the HB super stem i had....

i'm in work at the moment, but i'll post a pic of the stickerset later on tonight.

cheers guys,

Brian.

Just found the spec for the 1999 Condor...appears the seattube was still 65 degree(?)...went to 68 degree in 2000...anyhow, thought you might like the full spec for re-building (see below)...oh, and colour choice includes the maroon! (2000 was black, white and chrome)
