Do you mean backyard the shop,  or backyard - did it yourself?


As the first Condors came in via Shiners.  Backyard/Seventies didn't get a look in for a couple of years...



As for the restoration - get in touch with Fuzzynod on here, he has been through it and now has a wealth of information on the whole thing    :)

That's not an early one, and some of the parts are a little sus for one of Mat's own bikes, but you never know I suppose...

It'll sell for sure, but don't be expecting huge money.
