    Dave Yates resto build

    I think you have done the right thing. As other threads on this forum will show, Dave’s work is highly respected and worthy of protecting by groups such as us. For me, the pleasure of ownership has taken over 40 years arriving. Don’t give up your dream of having one - it might be closer than you...

    1993 Condor Professional 653 (Dave Yates built)

    Fantastic story and lovely bike, thanks for sharing. I have a 1980’s Condor which I will get round to restoring soon. It’s genuine, with pantographing everywhere, but has no frame number which baffled the staff at Condor when I contacted them for build details! FWIW, those Campagnolo triple...

    Wanted 26.8 seat post

    For Sale Campagnolo Record 8 speed Erogopower groupset

    To be fair, you’re not doing much to warrant the asking price: Dirty stuff could hide a lot of neglect and wear. You don’t say whether the wheels are tubs or tyres. The photos are poor and don’t help with the above.

    For Sale Immaculate Cannondale R500

    It’s 61cm to the very top of the seat tube, which sticks out a fair bit so it would be comparable to a 59cm regular steel frame, in my estimation - and the length of the head tube pretty much confirms that.
