Apparently no for size 55 looking people in the market now. I think the Concorde will try to find a new happy owner through eBay soon.

Thanks for your interest.

Yes, thank you both

fine frame & a bargain

to force a quick sale even more bargain now: the DA quality bb will be included in the sale price of 125 GBP shipped

..but for that I want to sell it it quick

Offering Concorde Aquila frame and fork * SOLD *

Concorde were material supplier/sponsor for the 80s/early 90s PDM Concorde pro cycling team. They gained many victories including the 1988 TdF with Pedro Delgado. Other riders who raced for PDM Concorde were Breukink, Theunisse, Rooks, Kelly, Alcala among more. In '91 they left the tour due to the intralipid affair.

The Aquila was one of the top of the line offerings you could get. Tubing for the frame offered is SL, SLX or TSX. Overhere an early 90s catalogue that specs TSX for the Aquila >> on page eight

The frame shows sophisticated build quality. The frame is made by Bilato of Italy, who also builds for for example Ciocc.

Features:

• advanced Columbus tubing (SL, SLX or TSX)
  
• chrome fork and tail
  
• nice engravings on top fork crown
  
• sophisticated 'open' bb shell/cluster
  
• internal brake cable routing
  
• Seattube: 55cm c-c
  
• Toptube: 560mm
  
• Rear spacing: 130mm
  
• braze on for front mech
  
• braze on for race number under toptube
  
  

Condition:
It is a used frame that falls short for concours winning example, but is great for casual riding, commuting and so on. Chrome is very good and paint is quite good. Expect scratches and chips here and there. Only more serious bummer is a little rust at the entry of the brake cable. The former touched it up with silver. Can be made much better looking after a cleaning and touching up with white, as the surrounding area is white. Good thing is the place is not so very well visible, due to its position left under toptube. Structurally the frame is 100% sound. View pictures to form your own opinion. I took many.

Comes with:
The frame can be acquired with the nice condition Italian bottom bracket pictured. The headset is not included.

Looking for 125 GBP shipped

Add 10 GBP if you want the bottom bracket

PS Are you in a desperate hurry to sell?

Not really. I am in the process of a cleaning right now, so I've offered and am offering multiple frames overhere and elsewhere lately. Stuff has to go, but it not necessarely has to be the Concorde. I could reconsider going on with the project, if much other frames leave. What me makes decide to offer it now is that I haven't a 2nd period correct Campag groupset laying around. The 1st is destinied to go on the PDM Concorde.

on the pounds issue I can't help, but I would think an only 53cm c-c frame doesn't soak up that much room?

220 GBP shipped

Bedankt voor die blumen!

Here Greg Lemond ahead of the pack on his Team Z TVT >>

No Gazelle, but also Dutch

ex-Dutch nat team. I sold something similar through the forums a while ago.

Thank you.

On last year's 'Stalen Ros' bike display I managed it to take a couple shots of a TVT Concorde Time Trial example. Really lush also >>

Currently I am building a PDM Concorde in my size. Spring is coming and it is going to be my ride for upcoming spring/summer. This nice tray of candies will come on >>

1024x771

This is original team PDM Concorde kit.

I would think somewhere between 25-50 euro

Some weirdos like them that much that they even run them on bikes other than Gazelle >>

Offering Concorde TVT Carbone 92 - kit, with Chorus

Very high end highly professional frame of the late 80s/early 90s. Made by TVT of France.

Uebercool gem if you ask me. This frame was the frame used in for example the Tour de France mountain stages by Concorde and Lemond. Way to go!

All carbon construction, except for the polished al lugs and dropouts. Uebertrick! You're the star in traffic and scare all possible contenders and unleashed animals away.

The frame comes with a couple Campagnolo Chorus parts. All together a great platform for a build with Chorus, Croce d Aune or c-Record.

Features:

• carbon tubing for frame and fork
  
• aluminium lugs
  
• very light
  
• lush paint
  
• internal brake cable routing
  
• Seattube: 53cm c-c
  
• Toptube: 540mm
  
  

Condition:
Used frame, but in good to very good condition. A few imperfections in the paint on seatstays. Cable rub on lower headlug. The 'Con' is missing in the Concorde decal non-drive side seattube. You can see it in the mirror. Structurally 100% sound.

Comes with:

• Campagnolo Chorus headset
  
• Campagnolo Chorus bottom bracket
  
  

Looking for 235 GBP shipped >>> pricedrop : 210 GBP shipped now

Packing:
I use foam isolation tubing for the entire frame and everything will go into a sturdy bike box.

Hi TomBurtonArt,

I had a couple. Now one left, but I will preserve that one for my own collection.

What is also left is a similar Koga, but with carbon tubing in front triangle >>

This is NOS stuff. Very light.

The Vitus found a new happy owner and will soon be enjoyed on British roads.

So SOLD

753 with Super Record


...and the panto'ed shifters


Thank you

On the kitchen scale ==>>

1460 gram !

No one in the market for a proper made light weight frame?!

This is your chance to own such a shiny thing yourself

...& it not even involves a lot of cash.

1. Clamp: the one with the "arrow" (and Gazelle logo) is quite okay. Haven't seen a single one that failed.
   The one on the picture (Marktplaats) is the 1st version, with a smooth transition from braze-on block to tube. That's a weak spot. A crack (?) will appear on the transition in many cases. Sometimes, one half of the black may fall off completely.
   
   
   

Okay, I only now notice this one is not with the arrow clamp. I do have a friend with a Champion Mondial with a clamp alike the Marktplaats one and it has failed. Bummer of the nice frame. Did it ever became clear why they failed with this construction?

Very nice. That 'debbie' has some nice stuff. I spot also early Super Record for example.

I think the monostay is brazed. Not so much welding on steel frames in these days. I would guess the issue with the clamp is that the 2 blocks are very rigid and are shaped like an arrow that points forward. All stress will concentrated at that point at the joint, what could lead to deformation.

This is a nice example of a very sophisticated clamp solution >>

Sale is of frame only, but...

you need a fork with it?

No problem.

That can be solved quite easily.

I do have a bonded aluminum Koga-Miyata FullPro fork available. 1991 model and new old stock.The best stuff you could possibly have. It looks very good, is well made, light, stable an safe. It is partly painted though, so it needs to be stripped and polished. Once done you will have a hard time noticing it is not a Vitus.

The NOS Miyata fork is one like this one -->

Spot the differences with the original -->

With the Vitus the fork can be acquired for an additional 20 GBP. So 145 GBP for everything including shipping.

Thank you for the kind words

Both seattube and toptube measure 56cm center to center

It does thake a 1" headset

Rear end spacing is 130mm

I would think the frame dates from somewhere around 1990, but these Vitus' were made quite some period. I think from early 80s on to somewhere in the 90s. This makes period correct component selection a little easier.
