I have seen bikes called Condor made in three countries; Mexico as well as England and Switzerland. Have never seen a Swiss or Mexican Condor that looked like it was even made in the 70's, but isn't the English company still up and running? Could anyone else with So Cal roots enlighten about Mexican Condors?
