Concorde Squadra

[Elev12k]

A while ago I started this Concorde Squadra project. Due to circumstances I didn't finish it and the frame and bits were stored away for many years. Now I am determinded to finish it This afternoon I took some pics of the project in semi-assembled state.

The Concorde will be specced with Campagnolo Super Record and C-Record. The seat is also Campagnolo. It is inflatable for the right firmness. I use it without air. It is okay. The quality of the leather is very nice. The cockpit comes from Cinelli. The pantographing in the 1R stem is a cool touch.

I think it will take a couple weeks and than I am ready to go.

That's very nice and is crying out to be finished, I had a lesser Concorde a while ago that I liked very much but sadly it was too small for me so had to go.
Lovely as it is the rear mech looks a little out of place to me though.

The Concorde is pretty much finished. Some finetuning to do, but not much. The bike looks good and feels good.

Additional pictures:

For tape I use Bikeribbon Professional. It looks very much like the old stuff. Same texture, but its is slightly thicker.

The frame shows several Concorde mentionings en Concorde logos. On the top tube there is an Italian flag. Concorde was a Dutch brand, but this frame was made in Italy, probably by Ciocc.

Thank you. I am happy with the result. In winter I ride off road. I am looking forward to spring, summer

Those cranks and chainrings are amazing.

The crankset is original team equipment. There is also a pantographed seatpost, but probably for weight saving they cut it too short.
