More info about my condor?

Hey guys! I happened upon a celeste Condor Pista track bike on craigslist in the bay area. I absolutely love the detailing - including maps of Italy and England, and the broad condor logo. I've since added an Omnium crankset and have a Mavic Ellipse on the front. It rides so beautifully.



I was curious if any of you would have more information about this bike because I haven't ever been able to find my same bike anywhere. Thanks!

To be a little more useful, look at Condor Cycles, UK. Really famous brand in the UK, have a long history of making frames (since at least 1948) and still make some lovely stuff (as well as being the co-sponsor of the Rapha-Condor team). Your bike seems to be their basic Pista model (which is still a lovely frame).

Kind of rare in the USA as they don't have dealers outside of Europe and Asia.

This is not the same Condor cycles as the Bikes Direct brand. AFAIK they have nothing to do with each other.
