1949 24inch re-finished by Argos in 'crackle' green/gold, it's original crackle finish was too far gone. Rides very nicely, not that I can put it under any strain but it feels
stiff to me

1. 1978 WBH Fastback. Shade under 23inch ctt. Original paint 531SL, Campa components. Fiamme sprints £900
2. 1956 Condor 'lugless'. 24inch. WBH and refurbished by him in the 70's. TA/Stronglight. GranSport. Campa sf and Fiamme sprints. I have a letter from him stating that it is the only lugless...
Nice thing and certainly looks like WBH but how does one know? If it had been VE i expect it would have had a semi-sloping crown for starters. I like the interim down-tube decals. Cant say I have noticed the different 'H' thicknesses, most of mine have either been restored or have WBH top-eyes.
I believe WBH stopped building for Condor in the mid-late 60's, the latest I have had was a '66 No1. Tom Board joined Condor in the early 70's I think.
Very nice. Quite large frame, 25 inch? I recently tried to sell a complete Superbe from the early 60's by WBH for £1500 quid and had no interest whatsoever. Actually one 'expert' phoned to say that the gearing would not work but it seemed to get up Box Hill ok. I presume it is by Vic Edwards...
