Hi guys, from what I was told all the Concordes that came with a Cinelli BB were cut by the PDM team mechanic to make cleaning and repairs easier and quicker. The Concordes weren't made like this from the factory. Not all PDM team bikes however had the slots cut in the BB as they didn't start doing it until 1988. Any PDM team Concorde before then may still have the untouched BB. My Concorde is an ex PDM team bike from 1987 and its BB is untouched - check out the pics at www.cycloretro.com
