Just picked the bike up. So pleased with it. Lee has done a fantastic job. It’s like it was 7 years ago. Thanks for such a great job.
Really nice machine…. you and Lee are right to be proud of it…
Thanks again Neil!⚙️
I always admire the balance you strike between leaving no stone unturned on the service vs the 'good enough' assessment you make on component replacement. Very professional.
Thanks for the kind words McGilliicuddy! We try to do as much as we really can🧡⚙️
Truly a dream commuter. 105, Mavic wheels, pretty cool looking old fashioned frame. Gorgeous.
A great “everyday” nice bike🧡
I admire your skill, hardwork, and dedication.
Thank you!🧡⚙️
Beautiful machine under all that dirt, well done, top job.....
Thanks very much🧡⚙️
Awesome looking bike. And again learned something new from you about the chain length.
I only ride Singlespeed/Fixed but service my families bikes. So their bikes gonna appreciate your wisdom!
Haha every day is a school day lol🧡⚙️
Condor bikes, not a very common brand but soooo nice. Great service for a great looking bike
It has the retro 80s look with that badge and colour
The styling on this was very nice definitely🧡
Loved that one, steel is real.
Steel is real!!
I do love a Condor, By far my favourite bike shop in london too. the staff there really are fantastic!
Love it. I love seeing the variety of European bikes. We don't see (at least I don't) many different kinds of bikes like that over in the US. Thank for making my mid-week.
You’ve probably got some brands over there we don’t get either!⚙️
I haven't seen an enduro style/fully on the channel. I'm currently in the process of getting a bike ready for my son and am doing the no stone unturned approach. Took me a while to figure out a way to get the rear disassembled, one part stuck quite nasty.
Condor are from London. They sell custom framesets not cheap but very high quality with an emphasis on steel but good aluminium (note the 2nd i :)) and carbon also. I'm saving up my pennies for a bespoke bike from them mate.
PS: also check out Dolan and Ribble from here in the NWest UK
Best part of my week!
Best part of ours!
This is a second video from your channel I am watching and loving it while learning. Thank you
Thanks very much for watching!🧡⚙️
Pride , pride in one’s efforts, it really deserves acknowledgement. I have watched ALL of your videos, and the pride you take in doing what you do is admirable. Thank you.
Thanks James we always appreciate a comment like that, enjoy all our future videos!🧡🧡
I have a Ridley Orion and it's my utility bike and is set up much like this bike - my main bike is an old Italian Steel Bike old style .
I really would love if my local bike shop would do this kind of work !
I would pay whatever as it will extend your bikes life by so many many years !
PS I do look after my bikes but your work is exceptional !👌
Thanks very much Furgus, very kind 🧡
Columbus tubing always worthy of a fettling masterclass 👍 Those Italian's know a thing or two about frame building
I was explaining the tubing to Simon when we filmed it. Thanks for watching 👍🏻🧡⚙️
Another brilliant service. I like your attention to detail like lining up the tire logos with the valve stem and nice catch on the overly long chain.
Thanks Christopher, we appreciate it🧡⚙️
Another amazing job, you doubled the value of the bike. Or maybe tripled... :D unfortunately not all bike shops do as good job as yours.
Thanks very much!🧡
Would be ~11 hour round trip for me to get to you. With the attention to detail you put into the bikes it feels worth it!!
We’d love to see you but you’d have to make it two trips! Bikes can take a long old time to get done when it comes to ordering parts and what not🧡⚙️
I am really happy to discover your channel sir pls keep it up.
Thanks for watching Christopher!⚙️
A clean bike is a fast bike 👍
Absolutely!
It's a gorgeous looking bike.
Loved the green color🧡
What a beautiful bike!
Nice going again. Never know rotor done BBs
They’re pretty good for what they are!⚙️
Another beautiful job.
Greetings from Sweden across the North Sea. Great videos! Keep up the good work.
Greetings Martin! 🇸🇪⚙️
Thanks for yet another great video! 👌
Cheers T. Ray! Thanks for the comment 🧡⚙️
Always liked Condor bikes. I got my first bike when I was 5 so 54 years ago. So luckily for me I am of the generation where as kids we bought scrap bikes for pennies and learned to rebuild them and also our Secondary school including bike maintenance in its mechanics classes so we also learned from that and over the years I have built up a modest tool kit so I service my own bike but it is nice watching these videos to see I am doing my maintenance correctly still.
There is something very satisfying riding a bike you have freshly serviced yourself.
Great story! Thanks for watching and enjoy your time working on bikes 🧡
Lee, that is a beautiful transformation! Seems like a pretty nice bike to have Columbus tubing and 105 components. More than just run of the mill.
That's what I thought. I assumed it was Reynolds, until towards the end and I saw the sticker. Its a cracking bike and great to see it so well used and serviced so diligently.
It’s something unique, loved the colour as well⚙️
So satisfying
Excellent thorough job wow.. 10/10 dude 😊🚴🏻😃
Thank you very much!🧡⚙️
Great tutorial
Found once I’d seen the brand name 👍🏻👍🏻
Excellent service, nice video. The brake service(brake pads & disc rotors) is something my service shop could learn from you among other finer things.
liked the colour of the frame, never heard of the brand...
I am sure the owner will enjoy the bike, I thoroughly enjoyed this vid. kudos to the level of attention of detail! Keep them coming.
Thanks WizKid!🧡⚙️
Watching your videos has been part of my routine every Thursday Morning. Brilliant and satisfying clean again! Much love from the Philippines
Thanks Alvin! We’ll see you next week then🇵🇭🧡
What a service shop I'd like to have just round the corner! Amazing work, really appreciate the people that do spend their time and effort to any detail there is, and there are people that will find and notice this difference, rest assured your work is and will be appreciated.
We appreciate the kind words Michal🧡
Nice work 👍
Such a transformation. Bet the owner was happy 😃
Nice work
Great view! If you bike, or not, it is worth seeing!
Thank you!🧡
I have given a👍out of respect for the effort,and quality of service. I truly respect the work that you put in to putting out these videos. 👍from Louisiana
Oh wow that's a proper bike, one to be used and enjoyed, fabulous colourway. Thanks to the owner for getting you guys to do such a thorough job. Great video as always.
Cheers Carl! Glad you liked this one⚙️
Beauty! I'm tempted to wash my bike every week because of you. Haha. I would if I was outdoors often, but I'm not. Thank you for your weekly videos.
Can’t ever be too clean! Thanks for watching Ted🧡⚙️
What a beautiful job. This steel frame is so slick. You guys are the kings of bike rejuvenation. Kudos.
Haha we like that term😂
Nice Job 😊
Thank you!🧡
Great job as always! After that sort of service, I couldn’t bear having it left dirty again!
Great insights
Fantastic Job!!
Great channel!!!
We always appreciate the support Tom!🧡⚙️
Hi guys lovely video again love watching your videos it helps me do my bikes and I’ve also done the the logo on tyre by the valve it looks amazing thank u 🙏
Great Service. This was a nice build from the start. Must be extra motivation to bring it back to fully function and looking nice. 💚
It’s a very satisfying process that’s for sure⚙️
Nice job on a rather nice bike. Columbus steel is sweet and with pretty dropouts 👍🏻
The Columbus steel was a unique touch on this bike!
I wish I had a mechanic like you in my area :(
Nice work 😊👍🏻👍🏻
Hands down the most underrated bike channel! I'd love a full strip down service of my LaPierre Sensium 3 (Disc) like that Condor Fratello recieved.
If we get one in we’ll do one! That’s what we always say we get so many different bikes in its just about picking one that works best for filming so if we get a nice in depth job we’ll film it🧡⚙️
Another incredible job. I think this video might be my favorite. What a beautiful frame.
Funny how we each have our favorites, glad you liked this one!🧡
better than day out of factory 😁😁👍👍 brill !!!!!
Haha thanks Gary🧡⚙️
Wow what difference cool 👌
Thursday morning coffee and bikespeeds! Absolutely amazing every week .much love from New Zealand
See you again this week! Enjoy your coffee🧡⚙️
What a classy looking bike.
As always great video.
Thanks Peter!🧡💪🏼
A lovely and perfect randonneur bike!! great detailing job also
Classy utilitarian bike, it cleaned up remarkably well!
Excellent video as always Lee, Loved watching the full rebuild and all your comments.
Would you consider doing a video explaining all the tools that you have and what they are used for?
We spend so long making these videos, for now they really only give us an advert for our shop but if they payed in a way that made it worth uploading more in the future we definitely will🧡
Love it! Looks so fresh!!
I set up my workshop with the thin oil in a syringe too. What a difference!
Thanks for the idea.
Thanks for watching Rainer🧡
great clean-up and tune-up!
What a super job
Thanks Anthony!
Lovely!
Great work as always Gents.
Damn that looks good!
Love the color scheme and always impressed with your attention to detail such a pleasure to watch 😎
What a beautiful bike this is!
I know that sometimes you get comments about how the owners can neglect their bikes like that but I have to disagree there. Bringing your bike to a quality shop like yours is the best thing that can happen to it!
Even though I’m able to do most of the stuff you show in your videos by myself - being perfectly honest, my (city) bike doesn’t look any different 😄
Keep on your great work.
Greetings from Germany by someone who had to rewatch some of your videos because they are so entertaining 🙈
Thanks Lewidem! Enjoy your city bike and thanks for watching from Germany!🧡⚙️
Great video guys, really enjoyable seeing the service in detail.
Might want to add video of the alignment of the derailleur hanger and servicing of the mavic free hub next time
Would love to c customers reaction
Fantastic
Great job...what a difference to the bike
fantastic attention to detail resulting in great looking bike.
Fantastic job as always. Autoglym SRP is a great polish but I can also recommend Autofinesse triple which is really lovely to use and polishes/protects in one.
Wonderful job! As for the bike itself, I like it. Haven't seen a condor. Slightly curved seat stays for a bit of comfort. Looks like a very nice commuter/ everyday Rider.
It had great styling for sure
And you didn’t think you would get a video up this week.. awesome job great video, love the bike
We did it! See you again this week🧡⚙️
Great video as always. Thanks for all the work you put into making these vidoes for us every week.
Thanks for commenting! Helps us out massively🧡
Thanks for another great video. I learn so much from watching these and it's a highlight of my week :) Just got into doing mechanics last year, now looking after all our household bikes and a few of my friends' as well!
Enjoy doing your work! Thanks for watching🧡⚙️
Lovely strip down and service. Bet the owner is well pleased to have it serviced already for the winter season.
I have my Cannondale Slice fully stripped down by local store Velo & Oxygen here in Finland 🇫🇮. Team did a great job, had a new cockpit created (bull bars and Tri bars), all new grease to headset and BB. New cables as its rim brake and mech gears. Also new chain and rear cassette. Top quality job it came back a new bike.!
That’s a big job! Should ride great🧡⚙️
@@Bikespeeds it's smooth as butter now. 🙌😎
Very nice job
Thank you🧡
Great video of a beautiful bike. Indeed, reassembly of a beloved bike is rewarding. In my experience it's the shifting and braking which stand out making the bicycle feel like new again. Cheers! 🚲
Usually that’s why people end up bringing the bikes in, shifting or braking problems are what spark the service 🧡
I love the detail and care you put into these bikes. I plan to bring my mtb into my local shop this winter once the first snow hits. Hope they put the same about of care into mine as you guys put into yours!
If you want something above and beyond let them know! I’m sure they’ll rebuild it if that’s what you ask for🧡
Would love to see a Dutch style upright bike at some point.
We’ll see if we get one in worth filming🧡
Nice job. I've just stripped and cleaned my gravel bike. Wish I'd done it sooner. Feels like a new bike. AutoGlym is a good tip. Thanks for a great video.
Thanks For watching Moo! Enjoy your bike and we’ll see you next week🧡⚙️
Bravo guys, absolutely love this, my new favourite channel! Could watch these videos all day long. Been making my way through the back catalogue and the only thing I’d say is, spend a bit longer on the after shots of the finished job! It’s really satisfying seeing the finished bike but it’s all over quite quickly. Tempted to bring my bike in for a service even though you’re about 165 miles away 😄
Thanks for watching Fallington! Glad you enjoy the videos and if you’re ever nearby pop in and tell us you watch the TH-cam🧡
Great job I use talcum power on my tubes makes smoother to fit
This might be a bit much to ask, but would you consider making a workshop tour? I’m currently in the process of converting my garden shed into one and it would be great to have a good example and some inspiration!!
In terms of workshop what you see is what you get, the rest of our shop is packed with stock and bikes. We just work off our one workbench with various tools in all the drawers!🧡⚙️
Amazing as always where are you based ? I’d love a full bike service off you guys incredible stuff
Suffolk, England 🧡
This bike was really easy to assemble th-cam.com/users/postUgkxMesz3KOGEmwmvyKQfLfrRSUXLFzfVHZA and required very few adjustments out of the box. The wheels did not require any truing/adjustments. The frame had some small scratches, but nothing major.I did replace the seat though - the seat it came with was very uncomfortable. The tires need to be re-inflated every 4-5 days, but this appears to be quite common for the narrow 700x25 tires.Overall, in my opinion, this bike looks and rides like a much more expensive bike.
Hi Bikespeeds. You've probably covered this in another video. You refer to super slick cables. What brand are they please. I'm going to give them a go see how they improve shifting. Cheers and keep up the good work
Ours are a “generic” brand if you like as we buy them in bulk for the shop but you can definitely find some by googling super slick cables
I can sleep easy now!
Good Job, next time change handlebar tape!
Bad Azz!
Hi, I work at a bike shop In California and we use Blue Magic metal polish, and it really cleans everything, you should try it out
We will give it a look🧡
