>I believe Eric Clapton has a simular Condor. Brian Blum in Berkeley
I think I recall a second-hand, i.e. somebody who heard it direct from Richard Ballentine, publisher of Richard's Bicycle book, with the cool Condor on the cover, that it was indeed Clapton's bike. OTOH, Mick Jagger is a known bike race fan. I recall an article somewhere that said he registered in U.S. hotels as Patrick Sercu ... so a Condor owned and ridden by a rock star is not a stretch at all ... of course, these recollections are from bikie get-togethers of the CR timeline, and we all know how reliable the information really is ...
