Anyone have an idea on the longevity of the Ti>Al bonding process? Length of life... stuff like that?

eBay prices on the rise, good time to sell old junk?
Postby QuangVuong » Mon Jan 13, 2014 5:12 pm
Back a while ago I had posted up this and had now idea what it was.
Looks like another similar one has popped up with a full 7400 group and for a better price. It's got some info in regards to the brand, being made Newport Racing from the Northern Beaches area. Never knew there were an Aussie bunch who made carbon frames back then. Would grab it myself, but no money and no space for another.

not the cheapest superlite but the best colourway in MEL
hillman, definitely not a fixed wheel... in MEL
Superb Concorde in PER
and my favourite... wishing it was slightly bigger....

looks to have had a respray (straight over the braze on Italian flag, but that could easily be fixed).
Trying to work out what model it is.
Looks to have the V shaped brake bridge of the higher end models, but does not have the internal cable routing of the Squadra or Prelude models (perhaps it is just older?):

Not retro, but someone might like to snap it up - 10 speed Campy Centaur RD for twenty bucks.
And a set of 8 speed Ambrosio Nemesis/Shimano 600 tubular wheel set in good nick, shouldn't go for much.
Ambrosio
I got very excited about these, then I re-read the title.
Don't get too excited.

I can see two little 'knubs', one on either end of the top tube that resemble internal routing channels.. I can't help you on the specific model, but I'm almost certain those are the openings for internal cable routing.sumgy wrote:Concorde is in my size.

It is PRX tubing and the only model I have found with that tubing is the Prelude.

The gruppo in that style Campy looks a bit old for the frame, no? Not that I'd knock it back if someone happened to buy it for me, but I think it's a smidge more suited to my build than that frame ;)Mmmfrailer5 wrote:.... And would someone mind telling me what the 'EMS' is as pertains to the fork.

I picked up a bonded tube miyata frame over xmas, very nice indeed. Cable passes thru the top tube which is a slight oval , its a neat quirky frame....I will try to post a pic soonfrailer5 wrote:I drew a work colleague's attention to this, but he's backed away due to possible SWMBO repercussions.

Someone has already bought it. Only the buyer can prove it for us. Honestly wouldn't be worth restoring a clunker.Derny Driver wrote:Are you sure that's a real Gefsco?

It would certainly would be strange to spend all that time and effort painting it in an 80's colour scheme and the correct transfer set if it was not.sunho wrote:Someone has already bought it.

Agreed, but the frame looks more like something mass produced than one that was handbuilt. In fact, it looks to me like it has all the features of something lifted straight from the Tange catalogue. Have a look at a Shogun from that period and you'll notice many, many similarities.singlespeedscott wrote:It would certainly would be strange to spend all that time and effort painting it in an 80's colour scheme and the correct transfer set if it was not.
Eg: Wouldn't Geoff Scott have used a better brake bridge? That one's just a straight piece of tube.
