Concorde Owners

I would

@windym when are you posting yours up

Cheers, it's a bit of a mish mash at the moment. Things will improve in the future, just wanted to get it running as soon as possible. It's bloody fun to ride! I'll probably post up a current project thread at some point.

yeah this looks good. +1 for quill stem. And a silver seatpost.

this should be in here too...

cheers greeno, just waiting on a mike burrows wheelset to see how it ties in with the black - haven't heard great things but for $50 its worth a go.

This would also be an absolute purchase for any Concorde owner. Would love to get my hands on it but price and current builds will not permit it.

So...I've finally picked her up! (She's called Harmony btw in case you're wondering!)

Concorde Squadra - Columbus SLX tubing

Campagnolo Chorus 11sp groupset

Columbus Minimal carbon fork

Speedplay Zero

Cinelli finishing kit

...hope you like - actually, not that bothered because I do!

i do indeed, very much so...

making me have second thoughts on how I built mine up.

That is delightful.

Thanks @greeno and @mattired

Took her for a little blast yesterday and she rides like a dream - why have I put off having gears for so long!?

Very nice!

I have an Atlanta wheel set laced to 600 hubs. Was going to use it on the above but alas...

Definitely needs quill stem!

defo quill stem (black if poss). would also make amends to bar angle.

noice

Does anyone have any experience from buying bikes/frames from marketplats. I understand that's the best place to find Concorde stuff though no one seems to want to post to UK. Anyone else had this problem or knows of a sneaky way to avoid it?

hey, yeah I was living in holland, hence why you see me lurking around this thread. concordes are ten a penny there, i've bought 3. marktplaats is great, but you won't often get people to post you stuff, it's mostly people who don't want the hassle. it's also pretty informal, people bid, but the bids don't mean anything and sellers can do as they please. it's a dutch specific site, hence they don't advertise on there with the intention of selling abroad. there's no way to avoid it, you just ask them to post, and they either will or they won't. They mostly won't unless they're bike dealers, in which case you prob won't be grabbing a bargain anyway (or they'll be selling them on here). i'm not there at the moment and it's looking doubtful i'll return, but if i was i'd have offered to pick stuff up for you.

though i should really be saying....keep your mucky paws off my cheap concordes, i don't want people catching on.

Mine.

I sold my old one to fund the new single speed commuter build, fine for pootling around the city but trips back to norfolk and summer ride in Norway will need something more substantial. Nice concorde frame with a modern groupset etc would be ideal but slightly afraid of building a geared bike.

blast. Well dank.

One day i will go there though and get like 50 frames.

@FRAMEND looks noice.

Stickers removed from wheels...looks a lot less busy now!

Think I'm going to pop the Open Corsa SC's on it next week

I like how the bird theme (columbus and concorde logos) perseveres into the choice of bottle holder, strong.

Open Corsas will look really classy on this, works well with the blue.

And the wings of the Campag logo ;-)

I'd love to say it was deliberate...but it's just kinda happened!

Resurrection Joe...rode mine in today....I always knew it was too big, so I will have to move it on! :(
Not a great pic! - Click the image for more poor Concorde Squadra pics.

8 Speed Sachs New Success Group, including hubs ;)
F.i.R rims
Blue Vuelta saddle, seat post mount, cables and tape to match the colour of the New Success logo...things we do :/

Popped the summer tyres on today - can live in hope!

nice. Approve of the saddle upgrade.
