Bike looks fab. I'm keen on those floor tiles too.

Looks great!

Have you taken it for a spin?

I’ve just done the first 5 miles. Lovely springy frame saddle is a bit too low, just having a coffee (with her locked up but in sight), I’ll adjust before heading back.
Definitely the correct frame size, but I wonder if the cranks might be longer as I had pedal stroke going round a corner (on the brand new pedals) which has never happened there before.
I’ll need to get used to the gearing as I spun out on the middle ring while unless i have a very rattly chain the lowest gear on the big ring was a bit much for my dodgy knees esp with the low saddle. Around here on the SRAM set ups I rarely use the little ring!

Or lower bottom bracket?

Maybe, I’ll get the tape measure out and compare

I have an old 105 triple on my Van Nich and it took me a while to get used to the SRAM on the Hurricane - didn't think the SRAM gearing would be low enough to use compared to the 'emergency' / granny gear of Shimano - but its been fine, now just remember which set up I'm using...

the crank arms generally have the size on them on the inner side

Looks nice, except for the pannier rack (I never use one).

As stated above check the inside of the cranks on two bikes too see if they're different. And have the crank up on a corner

If I don’t have a rack on a bike, I know I’ll rarely use it as almost all of my rides involve coffee and / or shopping with a longish stop and thus the need for a D lock. I don’t get on with saddle bags, just too small and fiddly even the big ones!

I can’t see anything written on the cranks, now I know there could be pedal strike, I’ll just go round corners with speed humps more slowly

I mopped them yesterday

You could have used that mopping time to have a quick spin , priorities !!

I’d already cycled and the bike wasn’t ready

From Googling, looks like the BB height is 26.5cm on the Condor and possibly 27.4 on the Genesis
