Current Projects chat and miscellany

The early "Concorde" frames were made by the same company that made Ciocc frames, that's right!
The later frames can be from anywhere...

The frame you pictured here: I doubt if that is a Concorde.
I think it should have Italian BB-set. Can you check that? What kind of marking is on the cups?
The lugs, fork crown, dropouts don't look like an (Italy made) Concorde.
I think of a resprayed frame, but no idea who made it.

The first Concorde frames had lugs with a "C" and that bird (condor?) in it.
There were also (later?) Concorde frames with a heart shape cutout in the lugs (refer to De Rosa).

Concorde is the label of a Dutch company named Rentmeester or Veltec.
To them, the origin of the frame is not the most important.
They also do/did a lot of respray.
Again, this could be anything.

Really appreciate that mate, I kinda knew it couldn´t be a Concorde, at least not one of the original as I´ve been riding my mates one for the past week and this one can´t even be compared when it comes to finishing... Anyway it was good to be sure.
