Concorde Ventana Columbus Cromor 52cm (TT 54cm) - Options on Spec

Hello,
Bit of an autobiography, but bare with me!

I bought the original bike from here about 6years ago, rode it for 2 years in its original spec and then moved to Australia for 3 years where the bike lived in storage in the UK during that time. Built it back up when I got back from Oz, and had a box of bits - so I've tweeked the spec numerous times over the past year, but its a joy to ride and served me so well.

Original FS post -https://www.lfgss.com/conversations/209124/

Over the years it’s been tweeked in to many different setups. Here is a picture history:
EDIT: Please see attachments due to issues with image hosting and lack of recent forming experience!

1. Original Setup
   
2. Still got these lovely forks
   
3. Next setup with FIR / PMP wheels
   
4. Then a couple of modern additions
   
5. Then one step back, one step forward about 3 years later
   
6. Then lost my mind and went 1x11 as a commuter
   
   

So that brings us up to date.

I would like to sell the bike with either an old 8spd, shallow rims setup , or a 10spd, deep rims setup (buyers choice, but negotiable on final spec) Note: the frame will come with a threadless setup, forks, stem +1.125 shim, headset, Chorus 39/53t crankset and silver Veloce dual pivot brakes.

Price wise (see below for full spec options):
Campag 8spd, shallow rim, 3ttt bars - £450 (inc original forks)
Campag 10spd, deep rim, compact bars - £550 (inc probs some modern tyres)
(Both Campag groupset are mixed Athena, Chorus, Veloce, Centaur)

OK just had to do attachments - as the image hosting sites aren't playing ball.
PM me your email for more pics

After a bit of research on pricing of similar models, i’m going to slash the prices - maybe I was a bit over excited initially!

So revised pricing:
Campag 8spd, shallow rims, 3ttt bars - £375 (inc original forks)
Campag 10spd, deep rims, compact bars - £495
Or spec it from the list in the 1st post.

I’ll give it a good clean and do more pics. Paint is good, Chrome is good but I’ll do pics of the few marks.

Note: the frame will come with a threadless setup, forks, stem +1.125 shim, headset, Chorus 39/53t crankset and silver Veloce dual pivot brakes.

Well this isn’t going well - 370 views and not one comment or any interest.

Could I ask for a little feedback?
Am I still overpricing the bike?
Is the choice of specs the off putting point?
Is it just not a nice frame?
Or too small for everyone? (Is this a tall forum?) I’m 5ft11 (long legs, long arms) and with a 110mm stem and layback seatpost was a good fit

one last price drop then I’ll have to put it on eBay #sadface
8spd Campagnolo -£350
10spd Campagnolo -£450

I think it’s great, love the setup in the first pic.

You’d unfortunately prob do better splitting. (Dibs forks if so)

I agree that splitting would be a better option. This a very nice build but neo-retro projects depend a lot on personal taste and people tend to build frames instead of buying something ready. Just my two cents.

Thanks greeno and zio_donnie. I’ll take your points on board, I get it that’s it’s a personal thing.

I might eBay it and if it doesn’t go, I’ll split it on here.
Thanks for your advice

(Gave it a showroom clean and refitted the front shifter cable (keeping it 10spd now) put the tan walls on the deep rims and the Chorus crankset on and it looks stunning! Had 30seconds of “I’ll just keep it”............. er no.)

Sold?
