Hi Weenies
Looking for a new rim brake frame and having had a couple of Ti and Carbon bikes am now considering Stainless Steel. I’m in the UK and will be using the tax efficient bike to work scheme.
I’m hoping for a lively frame with ‘snap’ but want comfort on 28mm tyres. Etap group and Bora wheels will be transferred across. Size wise I’m around a 52cm with about 10mm more stack than race geo.
Anyway, Condor are in the mix as a good way to get an Italian built XCR frame without Brexit duty and VAT hassle.
Anyone got one and can give me a review of the ride? And the weight too, obviously
Condor Acciaio Stainless - experience?

I have the first one with a 44mm head tube from 2013. Despite no longer working for Condor, I still consider it a keeper.
Frame weight for my 53x54cm rim brake frame is 1750g. Disc will be a little heavier. Ride is crisp enough to put a smile on your face but doesn't beat you up if you're out all day.
