New Campagnolo bits!

Autumn modus

Any ideas on nice fenders?
I had these SKS things (see above) but since i have no eyelets for them i had to use tie-wraps.
Need something more sturdy than that...

At this moment I've got some parts from the previous build I'm going to reuse. Complete group isn't going to happen but i'm committed to doing full Campagnolo (apart from the wheels)..

So, Triomphe (80s?) pedals + clips

80’s Athena Crank. Dustcaps and BB also Campagnolo..

(Chorus / C-Record?) seatpost

2nd generation C-record delta brakes

Altough the Gilles Berthoud Soulor was quite comfortable, it's a little too non-period correct + a bit ugly. Will be on the look out for something more sporty from the 90s. Details on the thing are awesome though..

The Dura Ace 100mm stem that's on the frame now makes the stretch to the bars too long for me. Will probably use a shorter (hopefully DA) Shimano stem..

I could. But then i wouldn't have an excuse to build a road bike once this is finished..

Found some photos from when i rode it fixed.
Frame deserves better for sure but I still like that build + it got me that nice FiR Super RIalto Grid 650c front wheel for €35.

When I decided to do the sensible thing and give it gears I never thought doing Shamals, I needed a 700c rear FiR Super Rialto wheel/rim..

Frame geometry looks pretty much the same like the Concorde TT I have!

Good for inspiration! Thanks!
Never seen a Concorde rebranded in that way.
Love the paint job. I have a Concorde Mistral with a funky paint scheme. Makes the black of the TT frame look kind of dull. It's in good condition though.

^ this. awesome bike

Looks pretty bad ass already... Make enough photos ;)

I've had this frame for years now. Rode it fixed for a couple of months, but after I finished my Reynolds 531 commuter I decided it deserved to be build up as it was supposed to be build up: geared and period correct(ish). Since then nothing happened much. Seeing über_grüber's project and Gaston FR's Ciocc made me realize I need this classic time trial stuff in my life. So i'm picking up where i left off...

How i bought it

Frame & fork

As much as i want to build this up as awesome as possible, budget is pretty low..
Will probably add nicer parts in the following months/years, but want to make it ridable first.

You do understand Gaston i demand the credits for this laughter...

apollo, i think bike is awesome as is.

That Ciocc reminds me of the The 'über_grüber Concorde Colombo Pursuit build' + that i need to get my shit together and finish my Concorde Astore TT...

In the meantime.. changed stem and flipped bars on the Reynolds 531. Way comfier.

Looks great, but those pedals look horrible to ride, surely better off with something like MKS touring?

They're ok. Now it's easy to change bars and add cages when I want to do a trip.

Bike as it was for the last couple of weeks, easy bars, no cages, front brake...

Maybe i'll get some fenders (better ones that i had on last year.. fcking tie-wraps) to make it a proper winter bike.
Fixed up the lady-friend bike as well after a scooter drove her off the road, crashing her rear wheel..

No, was definitely ordering Microtex soft touch black, just wasn't the same though, and have now gone for SRAM supersuede gel tape that's alright.

The SRAM tape says SRAM though right? Got any pics of it taped? Too bad about the Fizik stuff... the grey or black ones would've looked ace. Might still try it out.

Still cold as fuck here in Amsterdam, but dry-ish. So no more need for winter accessories on my main bike.

Yes, need new tape. Fizik Soft Touch?

Some more photo's here.

Winter months state:

Current:

although a comete is awesome, definitely prefer the double trispoke. flite looks ace

How did you bodge the front mudguard with a track fork? P-clip? VeloOrange?

Found the frame build up as a roadie. Fork is drilled. And not so much a track one... Good for mudguards though!

Got rid of the RainTail. Now in proper winter mode. Fuck you snow.

Anyone had any sucess re-covering a concor? I think it might be difficult due to weird shape (esp at the back where the rails meet)

I wouldn't call it a successful re-covering but here's my first try:

aaand here's my second:

Fake leather. Waaay easier to glue to the seat, stretches nice and is thinner than the real leather i used before. Might do my drop bars with the (fake)leather i got left.

I've put my main bike in winter(ish) mode:

Just turned a useless old pair of jeans into a budget lock holster:

That's pretty smart! Gonna try that one.

Drop-bars had to go... As this is my main bike now, i needed it to be a little more practical. So risers, cheap ones, with cheap grips. Because cheap is the new black. The 70 mm shimano stem is from my parts bin. Gave my back-up Concor a new cover. This time fake leather. It stretched way better than the real leather i used on the other one.
Also: Rain Tail. Yes, it works a bit.

Last 2 Concordes rocking the little Italian flags on the top tube. Love it. Still not sure what distinguishes these frames from the other Concordes that don't have it...
