Thanks for the info on Condor. Certainly seems like lots of key similarities. I also managed to go on an extended test ride today in the very wet roads of the Boston area. Really could have used a fendered bike as I was soaked by the time I got home, but ah well. Here's a pic at the end of the ride. That's the snow pile at the top of the driveway:



Build is with SunTour Cyclone mechs with black bodies, Stronglight 49D crankset, Mavic rims with Campy low-flange hubs (5-speed rear), Challenge Eroica tires (30mm fit this frame just fine), Weinmann Carrera brakes, SunTour barcons, Shimano brake levers (not a C&V match, but probably my favorite brake levers), Brooks Swift, Nitto stem, some kind of rando bars. Yes, and that's a CF seat post; I don't see it at all when I'm riding!
