Concorde MTB's - any info is welcome!!

[stumpjumper1990]

Just bought this Concorde MTB last week for 40 EUR. It's got BR-AT50 brakes, Wolber rims on M730 hubs, Campagnolo seatpost, Colnage headset, Ritchey Force stem and bar. I think it's from mid to late eighties, but not sure.

Does anybody has any info about these MTB's or Concorde in general?

Cheers,
Bart

Thanks! All I know that the company was started by Piet Rentmeester ( a former professional cyclist). Nowadays the name is owned by Veltec.
There is some information on the net on their road bikes. In the 90's they renamed their MTB's into American Eagle (by Concorde). I think they still sell MTB's.
I cannot find anything on their early MTB's like the one I found! :cry:

What's the year of that Squadra? Decals look (allmost) the same. Might be from the same as my MTB!?! :?

Late 80s

The early 90s catalogue in Gallery 2 shows a fillet brazed MaxOR mountainbike if I recall correctly.

A TdF aftertalk on the Alpe d'Heuz stage day discussed Steven Rooks' Alpe d'Heuz stage win in 1988. Shown were scenes with Steven racing the Concorde PDM to the top. A year later Gert-Jan Theunisse wun. Guess what he rode
