Almost mine! 75 Fillet brazed Reynolds 531 Condor

I just put 200$ down on the bike. It has record hubs laced to Fiamme Red label tubulars. I also have a spare set of Wolber Aspens with Record hubs waiting to be used. The cranks are record, derailleurs are Suntour Cyclone. Shifters are campy clamp on friction.

All in all the frame is damn near immaculate. There are some scratches on the top tube that show white primer but not a spec of surface rust. The headbadge is beautiful and shiny. A light cleaning and the bike will be in top shape. I will have to get some of those yelloy jersey cheapy tubulars because they are all I can afford at the moment. Decals are in A++++ condition. Soon I will have achieved vintage nirvana.

The seat post is a two bolt zeus. The stem is an absolutely gorgeous high polished modolo stem that has an aero contour to it. Too bad it is too short. I will likely sell it or keep it as a museum piece. I can't wait to post photos. I am paying 600$ for the bike. The frame is worth 1200$ to me...It is very we beautiful to look at.
