Hi all,
Really lovely fast light bike that sadly needs to make way for other things.
Concorde Squadra £280 Size 58 c to c
Ciocc made Colombus SLX frame. Turbomatic saddle, Campag aero seatpost, full Shimano 600 Tricolour Groupset, Cinelli Aero bottom bracket shell, 3T competitzione bars and stem, newish Cinelli cork bartape, FIR tour192 rims on 600 tricolour hubs (handbuilt by Robolson?), Rubino pro 23mm tyres. New cassette 11-28.
The frame has a few surface rust spots but nothing serious.
BUT those with keen eyes will see a slight curve in the seat stays. It is very slight, totally symmetrical and has alignment is still good. I showed it to Talbot Frameworks a few years ago and he was convinced it was not the result of any crash trauma. He didn't have any clue how it had happened, suggesting primitive efforts to build in some compliance. He confirmed that alignment was still true.
So a flawed gem and this is reflected in the price I think as it still rides beautifully and the kit hanging on it is pretty good.
I am in Brixton SW2. Viewing welcome
Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.
Tips:
Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----
To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word
To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word
Embed images by entering: ![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png) That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.
* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks
1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot
> Quote text by starting lines with >

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:
```

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
