1993 Condor Professional 653

Finally the frame arrived today. Overall, I'm happy with how it's come out. The paint job is very good, and the colour is exactly as I had hoped – it's a dark metallic blue that looks very dark at times, but when light hits it, the blue shows a lot more, as does the metallic shine.

Some of the stamped areas which have been filled in white are a bit rough around the edges, which is a bit of a shame. I suppose white against a dark background is pretty unforgiving, plus those areas will be rougher inside than they were originally due to the rust that had built up in parts, but still ideally they would be a bit cleaner.

Hopefully I'll start the build tomorrow. I'm only slightly petrified of dropping a tool on the frame, the sort of thing I am inclined to do...😬
Looks lovely 👌

Beautiful frame and love the color. I just dropped a 10mm socket on forks, chipped the paint and lost the damn socket😭
