About this model
A sporty all-rounder, the Fratello has been our number one frame for over a decade. Our new disc version features 12mm thru-axles at the front and rear, and flat mount disc brake mounts. In its creation, we focused on bringing a dynamic ride quality to the frame so you can get up to speed quickly through town as well as clocking new KOMs on long rides.
The Fratello is the king of versatility, making it the go-to frame for riding across all type of paved terrain. If you don't have space for a stable of bikes but want lightweight performance and the unique comfort of steel. Our new 12mm thru-axles stiffen the frame, creating a responsive feel when you accelerate or climb out of the saddle.
We build the Fratello with lightweight, custom-shaped Columbus Spirit tubing. This responsive triple-butted steel is lively and exciting to ride, whatever the weather.
Geometry
The geometry of a frame refers to the lengths and angles of its tubes. It directly affects the way you ride and the way the bike handles. Condor's geometries are tried and tested, and adjusted between our models to suit their style.

Our reviews speak for themselves
Compliance is confidence
We balance premium Columbus Spirit triple-butted tubing with a tried and tested ride geometry. The length of the chainstays puts the rear wheel under the rider to keep handling nimble and acceleration lively, without compromising control.
Maximum versatility
Get the grip and comfort benefits of 35mm wide tyres, and ride confidently on taxing surfaces and in difficult weather without having to forgo full mudguards. Fit a rack and increase your carrying capacity.
Condor Smart Cabling
Our Smart Cabling system makes the frame compatible with all groupsets, whether it's mechanical or electronic. Never worry about messy cabling or redundant frame holes again. The new Fratello Thru-Axle fork has internal routing for dynamo cabling, too. Learn more about Smart Cabling
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
Perfect geometry for every ride
The geometry of our number one frame is enjoyed worldwide. A slacker head tube compared with our performance range gives you control over tricky surfaces, confidence in busy traffic situations, and the ability to ride all day in comfort.
Ovalised tubes
The down tube begins ovalised and becomes hexagonal the bottom bracket; the flattened top tube with a squarer shape makes the tube stronger where stress is greatest, but without adding material. The result: our lightest Fratello frame to date.
Threaded bottom bracket
Condor frames feature a BSA threaded 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 is a tried and tested, reliable system, preferred by the two of the most popular component makers, Shimano and Campagnolo. To make life easier, bottom brackets to fit this standard are available from just about anywhere. Fitting a BSA bottom bracket is simple, and the tool required is inexpensive.
Reflective decals
All the decals on the frame are reflective. The decal utilises high index glass beads dispersed evenly on a thin flexible film to create retro-reflectivity. The high reflectivity of the black or silver decals give you an extra added level of visibility from other angles when commuting, audax riding or winter training
