Title: New School Hoffman Condor Project........
Post by: adenough on August 14, 2010, 02:45 PM
Hi all, this is my misses sons first project, a 2004/2005 condor, with GT 1 1/8 forks, started to strip the forks and will start the frame as soon as it stops fookin rainin'.
Im gettin it powdered at work to 40% gloss black (which is basically mat black). the frame was donated gratis by ' egg ' (many thanks) and the forks were next to nothin; from ' j rolla ' (again many thanks!!
  I know nothing about new school, like what headset, seat etc??? were lookin for nice cheap parts and hopefully someone out there may have some frame decals?? doesnt have to be the exact ones just hoffman etc? ive posted a couple of pics of how it is now, and will update as work progresses. any feedback welcome , cheers Fog. :daumenhoch: :daumenhoch:

 :) Heavy but should handle a good bit of abuse.You`ll just need a regular 1 1/8 aheadset.These are pretty good value and quality.You might need a spacer or 2 to go with it,avail in colours too.Seatpost size will be 25.4mm.
