Saw this badly advertised on Marktplaats.nl Had to be in the neighborhood today and contacted the seller. Finally I could buy it for €40. Did not expect anything, but liked the frame because it looked mid to late eighties!

When I saw it I was delighted. It has XT hubs (M730) on AT20 Wolber rims, original Panaracer Mach SS tires, campagnolo seatpost, colnago headset, Ritchey Force stem and bar etc. etc.

Does need a good clean, but can't wait to get started on it!

Hmm... nice :)

Looks like a c-Record post to me. What stem is that? What are the other specs?

Concorde MTBs were later renamed American Eagle, to focus more on the MTB market.

Thanks for the update. Yes, c-Record post. The stem looks very much like the also Nitto made Tioga Mountaineer, but a fillet brazed variation of it.

Good spot :wink:

Pitty the front isn't a Panaracer as well. It's a Wolber!
