Freek, thanks for that and apologies for not looking in the archives in the first place! Dave Peace Rudston England ----- Original Message ----- From: Freek Faro To: David Peace Sent: Thursday, May 10, 2007 8:52 PM Subject: Re: [CR]Concorde frame.
Dave, not long ago Hilary Stone (if I'm not mistaken) wrote an extensive piece on Concorde on the list. Should be in the archives. That three panelled thing on the toptube should be an Italian flag! Concorde's were (at least for some time) made by Ciocc. Ultech is a brand name of the Dutch part in the Concorde operation, Ultima. The PDm team used Concorde's for a long time. Great bikes.

2007/5/10, David Peace <david.peace@homecall.co.uk>: I have acquired a steel (Concorde Columbus TSX) frame and wonder if someone in the list could tell me anything about it. It has fully chromed forks with the Concorde logos stamped in the sloping crown. The dropouts are stamped 'Ultech' with small logos stamped adjacent on the rear dropouts. There is a tapped fixing lug underneath the top tube at the front and a raised three- panel indented rectangle at the right rear of the top tube. The rear triangle is three-quarter chromed to just below the rear brake stay which is V shaped, rectangular in section and stamped 'SILVA' on the underside.
There is a through-channel for the rear brake cable in the top tube.
Although 'Concorde' is listed under Benelux on the CR Main site, the frame seems obviously Italian.
I realise that this frame is probably off-topic but I thought I would enquire on the grounds that it is such a lovely crafted traditionally lugged frame.
Thanks in advance to those who may respond to my query!
Regards, Dave Peace Rudston England
