But this 26.6 will not go in. So it has to be a 26.4 :roll:

Thanks Spitball. I cant see anything on those links. Just a black screen with a white minus sign inside a circle ?

Its hard to be precise with such low measures, but I reckon the seat post is 26.4 after all. I think you are right spitball. Have bought one anyway and will see how it works.

Pictures attached.

Managed an almost original build.. compromised on a set of clincher rims and some modern pedals to make it rideable for me.

Bike is not a minter by any means. But very good all the same.

Very nice! Have pictures now.

Love the whole thing especially those Omega Hardox V profile rims - had those on my '89 653 Condor Italia Pro.

Gutted when it was nicked, although I still have the designer select frameset that Tom Board built for me out his basement workshop in All Saints Rd!

Sure - plus I did, after 25 yrs, find a red version of my green condor white plus smoke effect (Team Condor Olympia ?c88-89 from an old member of the team)

At the start of a ToB stage 2017 Rob Hayles was very interested and told me how he used do the smoke effect paint job himself.

Not so much chrome as I had and 1/2inch too big!
