Love that Condor, even the non period RD. Looks like a great rider too. The brakes are cool, Hiduminium was a trade name for a class of Al alloys that were famously employed by Rolls Royce to make pistons for the near legendary Merlin and Griffin aero engines. Those same alloys- specifically RR55- were used in F1 pistons, perhaps the hardest duty any Al alloy is put to, until about 5 years ago! Those Al alloys on your vintage bike might well still be close to state of the current art.
