That pricey Condor frame, oh so beautiful, seemed familiar. Lo and behold I know why. Check out Ebay Auction 6539127078.
That frame or something very similar was on the cover of an early version of Richard's Bike Book. At the time, I did judge a book by its cover -ooing and awing over the colors. The inside, a typical how-to, repair book, was a bit of a yawner. Richard has worked on it a lot and the more recent additions are a little more interesting.
I just wish I could remember names like I can remember images.
