Thought I'd start a build thread for my recently acquired Concorde MAX FB (at least I think that's the model) which came from here. The auction was rather vague however when the frame arrived it is a rather impressive item. The paint is nicely done, even the names appear painted on. The MAX tubing is elaborately shaped and looks extremely purposeful, the fillet brazing is flawless. Even the forks are MAX which is something I'd not picked up on, had assumed they'd be SL since these seem to be supplied on the MAX frame in the catalogue here.
The plan with this is to build with a Dura Ace 7700 groupset currenly adorning my TSX tubed Pinarello Gavia and use it very much as a rider. Had a slightly small Merckx Strada frame I was going to use but the Concorde is somewhat more suitable. Going to be interesting to compare MAX vs TSX vs SLX (and hopefully 753 too when I pull my finger out).
If anyone has anymore details on these frames be interested to know. Assume they are bilato buily? Droputs are ultech if that gives any pointers.
To get started a couple of pics from the original auction.
