Concorde Lo Pro, long time project

Third time lucky: after 2 other Lo Pro frames which weren't ideal for me I've found this beauty today at Stalen Ros in Ghent (Belgium).

Frame was marked at €220 (£188) and at first I thought this was rather expensive for just frame and fork. Still something triggered me, it's a made in Italie professional frame, the name of a rider is painted on it etc... After realising that the Mavic Challenger disc wheel, the radially laced 650c front wheel with Campa hub and a very nice engraved Cinelli stem (with the Italian flag and both Cinelli and Concorde logos) were included I just had to buy this. Seller was so kind to add a NOS Cinelli LA 84 bullhorn, still in original packaging!

So, here's the first picture (without LA 84):

I've decided to keep this one for myself but it will be a long time project. Didn't thought about a groupset yet but it probably will be Campa.

wow. nice find; sounds like the bargain indeed.. looking fwd to the result!
plus the nos la84s.i think youll be in for a surprise what theyld be worth!

Awesome project you got there.. Wanna race who finishes his black Concorde tt first?

Haha no man, this will be a build that takes some time (and when I find spare time I still need to have cash...)

Shit! Less than £200 for that haul? I wish I still lived in Belgium (if only for the beer).

I've been after a lo pro for a while, so keen to see how this builds-up.

Christ! That´s the biggest bargain you´ll ever get. Interesting project.

I was there to witness the whole scene. Glad I could convince you to keep it! This will turn out good. Subscribed!

^ Haha, didn't need that much convincing though ;) Glad I sold some other stuff so this didn't hurt my wallet.

Small correction: it's not an engraved Cinelli stem but a 3TTT. To make this mistake up here's a picture of it.

that's fcking hawt. you got that logo in your fork as well?

Crappy cellphone picture this time but yeah, the fork is also engraved

Always loved the Concorde PDM bikes, would love a low pro version one day.

I'm having a blast with this build...

New set of keys

...

there is a guy here who wanted to sell the challenger 26" front wheel a few month ago!

Not really looking for a Challenger front, I'm happy with the wheel I have at the moment.

Looks like I'll have to sell the NOS (well, they already have some very small scratches in it by fitting a stem which doesn't fit apparently) LA84.

Stupid 3TTT stem has a very weird bolt to open so I (and my local bike shop) can't make it a mm or 2 bigger to fit the Cinelli bar...

Should I keep the stem or the handlebar for this project?

Fitted a Campa Aero seatpost and a Turbomatic 2 while waiting for some other parts to arrive

Matches really well with the Challenger wheel

Good choice!
So.. we are both actually building up a black Concorde tt with yellow details?
We should start a crew..

I see friendship growing here!

Did nothing happen with this
