I have been after a Concept90 for a little while now; just recently I bought a frame with carbon forks from Wold Ranger, but it is probably a touch too small.
So, when I saw one on the bay in my size it went straight into my watch box, a bid was placed and 6 days later it was mine, unchallenged.
The other day this arrived.
The end of the axle sticking out of the side of the box was a bit of a worry, but once the box was emptied and the bubble wrap / sellotape spaghetti unravelled, what emerged was a very nice frame.
It was made in 97, so must have been pretty late in production. It's made of Deda Zero which the very first Cats Wiskas I owned was also made of, so a nice light and lively tubeset.
The running gear is currently a mix of Campag, but I think I will change it to Dura Ace mostly because of weight and the lack of 'old legs' friendly gear ratio's. It also desperately needs new wheels, as the Mavics weigh more than my car.
So a late 90's early 00's build.
The paintwork is in great condition and was described as Colnago like. I don't think that's a bad description as there are fades and straight lines as well as characteristic Lloyd curves, all in blue, blue, pink and yellow on a perl white base.
With this and the King on the go, I am going to be busy / poor.
