I have for sale before it goes to Ebay a really rather special frame - a genuine Bill Hurlow built Condor. Shipping to the the US will be $145, to Australia $200, to Japan $170, to Europe $80 and within the UK $25.

CONDOR NO 1 HURLOW 22.5in 1960s Beautiful fancy lugs Offered for sale is a 22.5in ctt 1960s Condor frame with a 21.75in ctc top tube and built from Reynolds 531 double butted tubing built by the master framebuilder W H Hurlow. Rear dropout width is 120mm. W H (Bill) Hurlow is probably the finest framebulder in the post-war years in the UK. This Condor frame must date from the 1960s and features the No 1 lugwork he designed for Condors. The curved seatstay and especially the curved chainstay bridges are other special features that Bill Hurlow incorporated into his frames. The Hurlow frames I have seen over the years are the most precisely and beautifully built frames I have seen from the UK. The frame is in excellent condition apart from two dents to the underside of the down tube - these do not affect either the structural integrity or alignment of the frame and could be easily filled when the frame was repainted. Genuine Bill Hurlow built frames with fancy lugwork are really rather rare. $1300 ono
