Angel's Way

Angel joined Condor in the Spring of 2010. The Spaniard makes up one third of our clothing department and has enough beard for all three.

When Angel joined the Grays Inn Road store he was often seen aloft a dashing steel fixie. One day he decided to add a geared bike to his collection and chose a custom coloured Acciaio.

"Steel is what I want to ride."

"I've ridden carbon and had an aluminium bike, but I like steel. Steel is what I want to ride", explained Angel.

Choosing a high gloss midnight black finish and using the eighties decal set, Angel's new bike was put into production around mid-Autumn, and arrived from Italy just in time for Christmas.

Angel's Acciaio was finished with SRAM Force, hand built wheels with Chris King hubs, and Deda components. The frame uses custom-drawn triple-butted tubing by Dedacciai for Condor. It has a race-orientated geometry, but is not quite as aggressive in positioning as the carbon Leggero.

Random fact: Angel's blue steel fixie was stolen in the Summer of 2010. It was spotted on eBay in January, and luckily was returned to its rightful owner soon after.
