Handcrafted British fabrication meets Italian metallurgy
Condor has worked alongside Italian tube artisans, Columbus, for a number of decades. For this project, we selected tubing from our friends in Milan, specifying custom-drawn, multi-butted titanium tubes, chosen specifically for refined ride quality, torsional stiffness under load, and sustained durability.
Modern integration & additive manufacturing
The modern road frame will be based around our prototype with clean internal routing transitions, designed specifically around contemporary electronic and mechanical groupsets, without compromising tube wall integrity. With modern road tyre clearances as featured across our other latest models, the frame with be paired with our proven carbon integrated forks.
Our prototype uses additive manufacturing known as 3D printing. By producing the dropouts and junctions through laser powder-bed fusion, we were able to engineer internal structural ribs. This maximises stiffness under hard braking and power transfer, shedding redundant weight without sacrificing durability.
