For Sale: Concorde Aquila Fake (?) Track bike

Concorde Aquila (Fake?) Track bike

so acquired this and built it back up from the box it had been left in. Badged as a Concorde but clearly not but never the less its a superlight tight clearance track bike.

Its badged as 531c which by the overall feel of it is correct just not sure what the frame actually is (any help appreciated)

sold seems right for this little retro beast even if it isnt badged right.

56cm CTC Seatpost
56cm CTC Toptube
63cm CTC Downtube

531c Reynolds steel frame with 531 forks (drilled)
Front Mavic Rimtec rim with Gipemme hub (true with braking surface)
Rear Mavic Rimtec rim with Campagnolo record hub (18T sprocket, true with no braking surface, single fixed only no thread for freewheel)
Campagnolo Pista Cranks 165 with 49 chainring
Campagnolo Record BB (smooth as)
Campagnolo Record Seatpost
Selle Italia Seat
Campagnolo Record Headset (smooth)
3TTT Status headset with GB bars
Atom 600 track pedals with NOS Christophe XL toe clips and Competition straps
Michelin Dynamic tyre front (new)
Michelin Pro race rear
New SRAM chain

Get a lock-ring on that rear! Lovely bike though - £400 is a good price.

Mmm....

definitely definitely needs a lockring mind

fake or not, awesome bike for a great price

if its only being used on the track then it definitely doesn't need a lockring. lovely bike! if it comes to it, and you'll post I would be interested in the frame, forks and headset. i'm sure it won't though!

Concorde were made by Ciocc right? This looks like one to me going on the seat stays and fork crown? If this had popped up 6 months a go I would of snapped it up...

Prob wrong somehow.

Not Columbus tubing which was their tool of choice and can't find anything track based as Aqullia

In answer to a few questions:

Forks are not bent
Chain ring is 1/8
wheels are clinchers not tubs

Yep the aquila was a road frame and used slx tubing. Still a great bike though!

Whatever it is it's lovely... going to see if anyone I work with needs a new bike...

Provisionally sold but hey cash is king

Sold

I don't have the time or money to build this up at present and whilst it's nice to look at, it's taking up rather a lot of space in my little flat so if any one is keen on the frame and forks, please feel free to PM me.

Thanks

Tempted... Shouldn't... Did you buy it all whole and just selling the frame on now?
