I'm sorry and i know i'll get flamed for saying so but i don't like it  :-[

Those bars look awful, change em for some 2 piece and pull em back in line with the forks, and lower that flag pole  :police:

You can't please everyone  ;D

no worries. i wanted to keep it in the style of the 90's original condors.  The bars are one of my favorite bar sets of all time. so for me it was a good excuse to use them.  i knew it wouldnt be everyones cup of tea but im happy with the way it came out. :)

Blimey! that looks ACE!!

I didnt like the chrome version until I saw this one. Nice!!

Im in kent end of june/mid july. I dont know if you are nearby? When I mentioned I need to build mine what I meant was totally from scratch i.e install BB, cranks, gyro etc

Can this be done easily? Im shite with headsets/BB sets/gyros.......

Hi Stu,

 It doesnt matter where whoever I choose to build it lives, as ill have to drive there anyway?

How long would a build take? 2 or 3 hours?
Title: Re: my latest build. a 2012 anniversary hoffman condor.
Post by: Discostu on May 14, 2012, 06:10 PM
From Kent it will take 2.5hrs give or take half an hour.  :daumenhoch:

To build the bike will take 4-5 hours. Maybe quicker if you don't have any problems. Your brake bolts will need cutting down as I had to cut mine down to fit the frame.  :daumenhoch:

Post by: nosher70 on May 17, 2012, 12:16 AM
Silly question Stu, and as I havent even seen the frame yet, what size BB is it?? the adverts says MID

But that could mean 22mm OR 19mm.............
Title: Re: my latest build. a 2012 anniversary hoffman condor.
Post by: Discostu on May 17, 2012, 07:50 AM
The bb is mid size. But can accept either of the two mid bb bearings. One has a centre hole of 19mm for a 19mm spindle like profile and most other makes. The other bearing has a 22mm centre hole that will take the less common spindle for primo cranks and a few others.
You need to find out what size spindle your cranks are using and buy a mid bb to fit it.   :daumenhoch:
