Post by: Dannywhac on March 18, 2014, 02:42 PM: No HB stamp on the gusset oop front is the main one for US, stamped for Tai. Also on the TAJ's (can't speak for the Condors as never had one) the early Tai one's (97/98) the rear wishbones and chain stays were sometimes on the p1ss making the bike feel like it was pulling left/right all the time. That and they cracked.

*edit - also need to add though - before they moved to Tai manufacture (which did I guess pave the way for other companies) they did occasionally make their tubing oval by using car jacks. Love em to bits though :daumenhoch:

Post by: OllyHall on March 18, 2014, 03:05 PM: They lost there cool when they went yellow, but prob 100% better made and stronger when they went Taiwan ,it's just the whole ramp room thing I think is so cool and hoffman in the early days :daumenhoch:

Agreed on the yellow thing - the TAJ's deffo were hit and miss though in 97/98.
