Condor Gran Fondo titanium

[jefmcg]

Wet weather browsing has led me to this http://www.damianharriscycles.co.uk/prod/rac_0025_da/dawes-3ima-ti-2015-road-bike

It's only available in 53cm, and according to the size guide, that's a little to small for you.

Perfect for me (just kidding. though it is my size)

Except they only do a 53cm and a 58cm so a 53 would be the right one for me

Don't you ride a 51cm?

Here's one for @outlash too big for me unfortunately

Oh yes . I'd be thinking about what Kidney I can Ebay for that if I didn't acquire a Fratello disc a couple of weeks ago.

PX sent me a link to this. Looks good, no black frame decals etc. SRAM force, £2500

Looks nice, if I wasn't stuck on having rack/mudguard mounts and discs on my bikes than I'd be seriously interested.

 

[vickster]

Yeah discs would be good but will add quite a cost

 

[outlash]

D'you think? I'm not complaining, it's making the decision easy for me .

 

[vickster]

Limits the choice to a couple of brands it seems. None of which I'm very keen on throwing £3k or more at

 

[outlash]

True. TBH since I bought my Fratello disc, I wonder just how much more Ti gives you over a decent steel frame. Something you already have with your Genesis. For £3k, you could go with a custom steel frame.

 

[vickster]

Ti is the one material (other than that silly bamboo) that I've not tried. Tbh I doubt I'll buy one (unless a condor frame comes up in the right size), as ultimately I have enough bikes, just like looking at them though

 

[outlash]

Bamboo. I like a bike someone can't set fire to.

I got the link too - there's also an Ultegra version. And a Hurricane with SRAM Force, takes up to 38cm tyres (32 with guards), disk brakes and a longer wheelbase, suitable for those longer rides. I've spent a long time hovering over it....

Ooh I missed that one! Need that injury claim to pay out this decade!!

I've got a dodgy kidney - perhaps I could sell it....
