Very tasteful 👌

Nice!

Ordered a couple of bits off this site, not used it before, probably well known on the forum?

Nothings arrived yet but I thought prices were pretty good (even with postage) considering NOS / compared to some of the insane prices people on eBay are asking for a used 90’s quill stem.

This guy fixed a deck for me once. SE based.

Thanks but sadly bars to narrow for me, would take the cages and straps though in Camden most Tuesdays 👍 but not this week.
Can travel up a few stops & collect one Tuesday?

Dibs…..Would take the bars in they are 42cm & would take the cages with straps depending on size is there anything stamped on them please.

I think shooting a Lomo or out of date film is largely a terrible thing to do!

I wasn’t saying vintage lenses are better, obviously some people think they are great & pay big money for rare old lenses so I don’t think it’s fair to say all the great lenses are modern lenses & no doubt modern lens are shaper etc then a 60-70 year old lens.

As you alluded to it’s really subjective some photographers may not like the results of modern lenses for whatever reason too clinical etc & prefer the look/feel of vintage lenses (often shot using a digital camera body) but surely that’s still a technical quality of the lens?

I think your totally right in that whatever camera/lens set up you go with the results it produces should resonates on an emotional level & supports what your trying to say even if a lot of this is actually done after exporting the file to lightroom / photoshop. ✌️

all the great lenses are relatively recent

I don’t know much about modern lenses but a lot of vintage lenses have shot up in price in the last decade or so. Amazing prices for some Dallemeyer & Taylor hobson cooke lenses.

Stem bags and shooting out of date film seem like the perfect hipster combination?

I thought shooting film (in date) actually makes you a better photographer, more considered & focused?

Probably quicker to pull an iPhone out of a jersey pocket and capture that “decisive moment” vs unzipping a stem bag, if that’s your thing?

Few loops of the Kent lanes

No1 lug but why didn’t your friend list it as a BH built Condor?
Always thought the H on chain stay eyes looks very cool.
Love your Baracchi, are you building it up? Worth posting in the Condor owners thread 👌👌👌👌

If you do find out any more information I would be interested to hear it!

I was told the hole in a typically curved but sometimes straight chain stay bridge indicates a Bill Hurlow built frame but also that it’s generally accepted that he stopped building for Condor in 68 so really not sure tbh.

Have attached an image from a recent BH condor ebay listing.

Not brake bridge but chain stay bridge near the bottom bracket

I believe 1950’s-70’s Condors had year first then production number but this format is flipped in the 90’s.
Serial number is on the NDS rear dropout & fork steerer. My frame actually has Zeus rear dropouts but Campag front!
Wouldn’t surprise me if the builder ground off the eyes. Actually maybe it would be odd to ground off the eyes?

I have read online that Bill Hurlow built frames for Condor up to the early 70’s but other articles state only to the late 60’s. Apparently BH invented the fastback seat stays which your frame has, is the chain stay bridge curved or straight, with a small hole drilled into it?
I have a similar Condor Italia frame serial 7371. 👌

Personally I don’t think the headset looks too bulbous, I have a 90’s condor with original campag veloce headset looks good, might be worth think about 👌👍

I actually think this feature is quite clever, probably proven to nudge users to cycle more therefore use the app more and reclaim “legend” status.
Before this feature it was all KOM / QOM or top 10 times on the day which probably only a very small amount of users were motivated by.
Focusing on number of segment rides rather then times must motivate a much wider user base.
Obviously repeatedly emailing to say you lost “legend” status is a bit shit.

Such generosity, surprised this hasn’t sold tbh especially at this time of year.
Can imagine a whole family gathered round it eating Xmas dinner all amazed that someone let this go for only 700 quid!

I’m sure the shop that valued it at £1200 would pay £700 for it?

A good read for any P.S. fans

Couple of cheap good looking Birds in West Wickham if your into that sort of thing.

@veLLo showing too much seat post on a ladies(?) green Raleigh, in the posh part of Bromley, def not a yellow Mercian.

These kept my toes warm & dry yesterday.
Much easier taking shoes on & off compared to wearing overshoes, wish I’d bought a pair last year.

Dibs trumps a DM surely?
