Investment-cast dropouts
Investment-cast dropouts provide enhanced durability under the forces of daily pedalling pressures; the dropouts reliably grip the wheel and reduce biting and slipping.
Custom selected and formed Columbus steel
The Pista is based around our fast rolling, Acciaio road frameset. We use a mix of Columbus triple-butted steel tubes to achieve the perfect balance of performance and comfort. The custom rolled top tube is made from Spirit and ovalised for an improved strength-to-weight ratio. The seat stays use Columbus Max, an elliptical shaped tube, orientated according to the specific direction of stress to maximise comfort.
Race engineered carbon fork
We completely redesigned our full carbon monoccoque fork to reduce the weight as well as provide more clearance for wider tyres. The straight fork legs transfer a better road feel, whilst the high grade carbon fibre takes away the buzz of rough road surfaces that can zap energy.
Rust inhibiting treatment
After being welded, filed and cleaned, our steel frames are dipped in a rust inhibiting treatment. The treatment provides a degree of protection, particularly inside the frame, against corrosion caused by acidic substances (including water). Read more
BSA Bottom Bracket
Condor frames feature a BSA bottom bracket shell. It's an overlooked part of the frame, but a very important one. The lowly bottom bracket doesn’t get much attention, and if it's working properly, that's the way it should be — smooth and silent. BSA Bottom Bracket is a universal system preferred by Shimano and Campagnolo.
Clearance for 28mm tyres
The frame and fork have the clearance for all 28mm width road tyres without needing to use specialist or deep drop style caliper brakes. The wider clearance allows for more versatility and compliance ideal for riders who ride in all weathers, are riding over cobbled surfaces or ultra long distances.
