Concorde Prelude - restomod

[mrkawasaki]

Apologies to the purists - a Concorde Prelude now kitted out with 11 speed Campagnolo Athena and readied for a Yorkshire sortie come Saturday. Hopefully a trouble-free run from Skipton to Harrogate for the finish of stage 1 of Le Tour beckons. New shed build in background... ;-)

That's really nice. I have a Concorde Aquila that I'm planning to outfit with Athena 11.
What retro looking wheelset do you have on your bike.

Re:

Very nice!, I reckon you've hit the sweet spot with the retro looks, the cambium works really well.

Re:

Another Concorde owner chipping in.

That's a perfectly executed combination of classic and modern; best of both worlds.

Not Archetypes, Shirley? TB14s?

Good combo of vintage, modern and retro though, looks fun!

Yes - not sure what I was doing/thinking there... TB14s they be.
