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

Miguel Indurain and Pinaello weren't the first to do this dropped top bar. On the pro scene it was first done by Edwig Van Hooydonck and Colnago back in the time of Super Confex in the mid to late 1980's. Most of the pro teams back then used Campagnolo and seat posts only came in short lengths not like today, so for tall riders like Van Hooydonck getting the seat higher was a problem. Colnago also realised this and solved the flex of a rider's large frame by just dropping the top tube to create a smaller diamond. Concorde also adopted the theory for riders such Steven Rooks and Gert-Jan Theunisse.

Thanks Peter much appreciated. Actually doesn't have to be in the PDM colour, I would settle for a regular Squadra or Aquila in SXL or TSX with the pantographing of the Italian flag on the top tube and the Concorde logo on the fork crown and lugs. Having a Cinelli bottom bracket would be a nice bonus.

have you thought about it? I'd still like to buy those wheels
