  Thanks Tonzaman
  I gave up trying to upload a picture.
  I've since fitted the Cinelli 1A stem and 3ttt bars mentioned in the previous post.
  This picture also shows the Selle San Marco Rolls saddle. The jury is out on how comfortable that is !!!
  Hopefully this picture will upload.

• Concorde Aquila Vintage Build

  Thought I would post a picture of my Aquilla.
  I believe the frame is a 91.
  It's my understanding it has SLX tubing (recognised by spiraling on the inside of the tubes) and confirmed by a LBS.
  I have built it with a mix of Campagnolo Super Record, Record and Chorus components. Parts that were easily available to me at the time and what I could afford.
  The rims are H + Son Architype's on Campagnolo hubs with DT Swiss Competition spokes (built myself)
  I am just about to swap the stem and bars to a Cinelli 1A and 3ttt Grand Prix bars. I'm not keen on the look and feel of the ergo bend and the reach is a little too long for me.
  Currently it has a Selle San Marco Rolls saddle as well.
  It rides beautifully and always attracts attention.
