2011-10-12T18:10:00.000+01:00

We've just had our delivery of the Past Present Future book about Condor Cycles, a collaborative book between Condor Cycles and the guys behind The Ride Journal.

The book talks of how, in the early nineties, Condor were the first to make sturdy steel single speeds, not for the track but for London's couriers, swapping an aggressive track geometry for a more relaxed position and bullet-proof build.

John Herety discusses British racing and the inception of the Rapha Condor Sharp team, and why the roots of Condor are within British racing. Former Condor rider and Tour de France veteran, Colin Lewis, shares anecdotes about racing abroad, while production director, Neil Manning, writes a poignant essay about the material steel, and why after all the years, and the popularity of carbon, steel has always remained within the range. Past Present Future goes behind the scenes through interviews, essays and photo stories with close friends, riders and famous names that have ridden the bikes over Condor's sixty-five year history.
