Having lurked on the forum for years I thought it was time to tap the collective knowledge, seeing as I have not felt I have much to add.
I purchased a bike back in 2011 with a view to taking part in the occasional Audax and then End to End, which I rode in 2012. The bike I used was a second hand buy from the CTC Forum and is painted up as a Condor, at the time the seller said he didn't believe it was, so there was no dishonesty there.
After End to End the bike sat in the garage for some years and I recently fished it out with a view to getting out on it occasionally. It's at this point I thought it would be a good time to actually work out more about it, specifically what make it actually is.
There are stamps on the rear dropouts that say "Allez". Simple then, it's a Specialized Allez, but more research shows this is unlikely. Having been down the rabbit hole a bit there was some evidence it could be Holdsworth. But then the frame has 3290 stamped under the BB so it looks unlikely based on the frame numbering I have found online.
At this point, I have drawn a blank. I cannot find any other obvious markings on the frame to give any particular clues and it may be a mystery that cannot be solved, but I have dropped some pictures here (
