this is it painted and finished with repro decals (cheers stodgy) it's now hanging on the wall in my lads nursery :daumenhoch:
-
Awesome! Love it :daumenhoch: is it painted or powdercoated?
-
it's painted :daumenhoch:
-
Looks like a top job :daumenhoch: do You know what colour, or the code it's done in?
-
can't remember the ral code off the top of my head but i've still got some paint left at my friends workshop so i'll find out for you.
-
looks lovely :daumenhoch: :daumenhoch:
a friend has one in his loft which he's hoping to restore soon so the ral code would be handy :daumenhoch:
is there anymore news on the new school version of the condor?
-
can't remember the ral code off the top of my head but i've still got some paint left at my friends workshop so i'll find out for you.
Cheers old bean, got a n/s Condor I want to repaint, thought that Blue might suit it, forgot to say great pic of You on vert :daumenhoch:
-
fuzzynod got his sprayed,can't remember the colour code,but i think it was a Peugeot colour.
-
great job, that looks fooking sweet.
-
i've found the paint code it's RAL 5010 (Enzian Blue) i think it is a peugeot colour? as for the n/s condor i have no idea what's happening with that?
-

i think that's it build wise as i've given up trying to find forks for it :(
it's mounted on the wall in my lads nursery and it'll probably stay there until he's old enough to stick it on ebay :LolLolLolLol:
-
:LolLolLolLol:
-
I have forks for it :-[
I'm real sorry, I've been after a frame for years so I'd never let them go, anyone interested in swapping a mint menstrual complete bike for a mk1 or 2 condor frame ?
Kind regards dont all shout at me at once :-[
-
i never sell mine as used to ride it as one of the first bike i rode when got back into bmx again .
-
nice...realy wish i had kept mine........ :)
-
:LolLolLolLol:
We've all got the same story eh? I sold my 93 back in 95 to fund the purchase of one of the last ramp room models. That one I'm pleased to say is hanging on my wall.
-
nice...realy wish i had kept mine........ :)
another one for you to try and find then, den still has his in the loft
-
i'm glad i sold my 92 condor frame a few months ago, i rode it to death. cracked the toptube about 3/4 round the tube and then it sat in my shed for years. i would never have got round to restoring it, the guy that bought it got it welded and rechromed and new decals on it and now looks brand new. i'm just glad it went to someone who was gonna look after it.
-
just got the forks back today from the painters.i'll get some better pics over the weekend once i fit the headset.
have to thank danny harris and stodgy again for all their help :4_17_5:

how much? ::)
-
Wouldn't even know what it's worth fella! Make me a offer
-
took a few more pics now i've fitted the headset.think i'm going to leave it as it is now as that's how i got it originally as a frame/fork and post combo.plus i haven't got the desire/cash to chase the correct parts for it.

Love your work. :smitten: You have done a really good restoration on this one. :daumenhoch:
All you need to do now is take a stanley knife and carefully remove the powdercoat from the 990 mounts. ;) Then it will be perfect. :coolsmiley:
-
fantastic to see mate ,so glad you got it sorted props..H
