Well, Eric Clapton did take delivery of a custom built Cinelli, so why not a Condor too?

However, some of the claims in the Ebay posting do not appear to add up. I remember the bicycle on Richard's Bicycle Book and from what I recall, it was similar to this one, but not identical. The Richard's Condor used bar end shifters with brazed-on cable stops on the down tube. It also used cable stops on the top tube and if I recall correctly, the head tube was orange, not red. It also had a prominently displayed Reynolds sticker on the top of the seat tube, which this does not.

I won't be able to verify the above until next week, at which time I can access and post the book pic. Hopefully another member has another copy and can verify my recollection. I'm reluctant to call this a scam, but it isn't what I remember.
