^Shit, better get my DY Lo Pro out of the shed and onto the 'Bay.

It's got some nice Dura Ace bits on it, the advert says they are NOS, but they are not really NOS since they are mounted and look a little used as well. I would be surprised if it sold here for that price.

Anyone know if DY is still building, or if he's finally retired? Considering a custom audaxy bike for a milestone birthday next year. I suppose I could just email him and ask...

Any answer?

Yes I think so... I was calling around for quotes last year and I'm pretty sure I got through to him.

Got my DY Lo Pro out of storage and into classifieds:

Nice that, decent parts too.

I just tweeted @ carlton reid about that pink roughstuff up there, it’s such a beaut! Nice reply, he still has it. Hopefully he’ll pop by sometime.

Been meaning to stick a set of this up here.

That is deeply good.
Can I buy you a couple of clean seatposts for xmas?

Hah I readjusted rear for son’s height, forgot to wipe it down.

It’s a good point actually. For some reason my blindspot is seatposts, I just have no interest in posh ones really. Could do with something tasty with adustable setback for the rear, 27.0. The nice Suntour one that came with it has hardly any rise, need some height for 5’9” stoker

Classic DY, clashy paint types as well as colours, and fade that are really short, like a 15mm transition. Same on my winterbike.

Though the price is nuts, they’re dreamin

Guessing this is a Dave Yates built Condor based solely on seat tube collar thing being typical detail of a Yates build?

I've been meaning to reply: certainly looks likely. Wonder how much it sold for. Not that I need a road bike. I just bought the Super Randonneur that Jingle Jangle posted^!

Time to sell a bike.

that super randonneur is nice!
