Here's a great line-up of lilac-coloured bicycles built by Condor Cycles in London-
and also four lovely ladies modelling a range of cycling clothing also supplied by Condor.
I first visited their shop, and bought similar cycling tops in the mid-80s, after seeing a
similar article published in 'Fitness' magazine, at that time!
Filling some cutouts on a 70s @condorcycles Sienna that got a fresh coat of paint while listening to one of my favorite Superchunk songs. I work alone so the lyrics don’t particularly pertain to me but I still enjoy it. Funny fact about this song, my friends Dan and Neil played it on their morning radio show on WSMU (RIP) back in the mid 90s and they would holler “slack monkey chugger“ into the mic at appropriate times to make it FCC safe. Those were fun days. I believe I was Program Director at the time and it made me uneasy. Ha! #collegeradio #superchunk #condorcycles #1shotpaint
Condor Cycles
London based Condor Cycles with its store on the Gray’s Inn Road has been serving London’s cycling community since 1948. Each frame in the Condor range is now hand built at their factory in Italy. Despite Condor having strong ties with the racing scene, the range includes bicycle frames for commuting, touring and track made from steel, aluminium, titanium and carbon. Condor is a family run business and continues the ethos that there should be no compromise between performance, quality construction, beautiful ride and style.
The Rollapaluza Urban Hill Climb 2011 on Swains Lane, Highgate, London. Taken by the cemetery - I just love the shadows and contrast form the flash on this one.
Off camera flash - Canon Speedlite 580EX-II. To left of bike aimed square and rotated 90 degrees. 1/8 power on tripod, Hahnel remote trigger.
The Carradice bag is held by the Bagman Expedition support, modified with two additional struts. The frame has bosses on the inner face of the seatstays, for a clean look.
