Angel wrote. Condor of London has apparently started to build these cantilever bikes again. Contact info is: How do these things ride? If they are anywhere near as good as the Mike Kemp Condor Galibier's wonderful. These ride a lot better than the originals due to the heavier gauge T45 vertical tube and the fatter modern seat stays. This is only a personal preference but I wouldn't go below a 39.5" wheelbase on one. But I'm an old fogey! Some of the TT Galibiers went down to a 37.5" wheelbase. Got a horrible feeling this is probably off topic and not even KOF. I wouldn't my any stretch of the imagination call these cantilever that's more Dursley-Pedersen.
