Goddamn!!!

Cheers mate - same goes for your IF. Hi-5’s all round! :stuck_out_tongue:

Question re: the Litespeed - why drop crabon seatstays into a ti frame? That doesn’t make too much sense to me, given the ride properties that ti has anyway…? But I’m sure you’ll explain. :slight_smile:

Adding carbon to the rear stay was a big trend around 2004/05. It supposedly added stiffness to the back end for more efficient power transfer. You don’t see many bikes make like that now. To be honest I have owned Ti bikes with carbon and non carbon stays and I cant tell the difference. One thing I do notice about Ti bikes is they have a little more bottom bracket flex.

The Concorde is a beauty.

Mine - Olmo San Remo.


The frame is only Columbus Thron, its a bit heavy, but nice on rough roads.

All Ultegra 9spd, Cinelli bars 3tt stem and seatpost. In this pic. Shimano 600 hubs with Velocity Deep V’s, swapped up to Open Pros - so much lighter and Ultegra pedals.

Thanks guys. A few more Concorde pics here (down the bottom of the set)

i really really like that concorde, really :sunglasses:

Eddy Merckx Strada w/ Dura Ace 7700 - since this photo I have replaced the wheelset so it’s got DA 7700 hubs on Campy Lambda rims.

Basso w/ a mix of 7 speed Dura Ace and Shimano 600.

and I miss owning this one. Paconi w/ 1st gen Chorus.

I love the Concorde too! My mate has one and I’m in the process of getting him to sell it to me, he hasn’t ridden in in twelve years!

Oh — Broken Photos

OH - YEP.

my baby - needs a clean.
mostly campag victory, with croce d’aune front mech, super record headset

mines a fasto coppi mid 90’s columbus genius tubing
chorus 9 speed groupo
record full ti cassette and lockring
3ttt bars and stem
vento wheelset

the wheels keep the weight a bit high but they look good and ride super nice
it’s very fast once you get it going
could build it a lot lighter but i don’t race and it keeps me fit!




Coppi = wood for Sharpie :mrgreen:

best bike available to mankind is the rumour i heard! :smiley:

wow the IF is pure sex…

i really want one after seeing yours…

how much did the frame and fork weigh

and if you dont mind me asking what was the cost of the frame set?

Mine is one of the carbon frames Evan was clearing out at Cyclic in Flemington a year or two ago. Thanks Evan!
Built up with new parts (Ultegra) and old (DA), and Fulcrum 5’s.
If you need a comfy affordable seat, I’m a fan of the Charge Spoon.

judging by the US photos, $3025 USD (or more or less depending on colour options and when it was bought)

or about 7 times that if bought in this country :roll:

if you want one cheaper contact someone in the US (justin from svelte cycles is happy to send one over)

warranty wouldnt be an issue.

A gentlemen never says how much his bike is worth :wink:

But yes if you can get one from the states like me its a lot cheaper. Its really shitty how much mark up distributors put on products. I import parts from America and there is no way those figures add up, especially with today exchange rate.

HOLY SHIT THAT LOOKS SEXY!!!
