the only reason mentioned Condor was that they did do bespoke

BICYCLING! magazine did a feature on them BITD and they showed one done for a rock musician decorated with musical notes and instruments

they showed another done for a history professor which had a Battle of Hastings 1066 theme

no wish to assert an identity...mentioned only as a possibility

lug manufacturers offered blanks so that framebuilders could design and cut their own patterns

in the case of a hand-cut pattern it is possible it might be a "one-off" with no other like it in existence...or it could be a design used by a framebuilder to produce a number of frames...
