Concorde restoration - on a budget

As anyone who's ever looked into it will tell you, finding out who made a specific Concorde bike is one of the eternal mysteries of life...

Ok last post as I can't do anymore until I've had the frame painted, which is the only bit I'm going to get a shop to do, just so it's a reasonable job. I've got the frame decals, so it'll get dropped off next week

New bearings on the BB axle, nice easy job.See what the old ones were like

I promised member chickendrumsticks I'd post a restoration thread on the Concorde that I bought from him way back in November?
He'd bought it in the same condition that I got it off him, as he'd had no time to work on it.

So here's how it started. Disgusting colour, and poorly painted.

Great to see this underway Richard. I'll be following with interest!
