Do the Campy Athena hubs come with a Shimano spline option?

HI mate i have a 9sp chorus group set you may be interseted in the BB & head set are italian thread,cassette is aftermarket overall the group is in good cond,minor rub marks on ds crank ,they are 172.5 will also include an original set of campag SR 50th anniv pedals minus the gold caps .cheerssimurs4 wrote:Thanks for all the help guys. I pretty much had my mind made up on either c record or chorus so will probably have to collect peices individually over time as most complete groupsets ive seen for sale have wrong sized cranks or seat posts etc.
it will be a pretty eye catching thing once its on the road the original paint job is wild! Pure 80s!

Munga I spotted this very bike half parted, growing Ivy and gathering rust in a rural part of the world south if Brisbane today. Identical paint, chrome work in the forks, Columbus decal on the seat tube (not sure which though) and sitting beside 11/2 sets of what I think were Wolber tubs. What is this model of Concorde?! Waiting for the owner to call me back if its available!munga wrote:i think it might be a real concorde, like this:

if it has the race tag under the top tube, you don't need me to tell you what to do with it,
and if its a 53cm frame, you don't need me to tell you what to do with it.

Concorde was never a manufacturer in their own right. They always outsourced production of their frames to contract framebuilders. This thread is an interesting thread.LG wrote:I believe they are diferent brands, the Dutch Concorde, then the Asian bikes.

Thanks for that, I was aware the Concorde brand didn't manufacture their own bikes, but didn't realise they put their name on some of these cheaper Asian bikes in later years. There was a separate Concord brand that sold into the North American market in about the 80s, though spelt without the 'e'. I only know this as I bought what is likely a CIOCC built Concorde while in Canada a few years ago and did some googling to confirm what it was pre-purchase. I'm no Concorde expert.Velo13 wrote:Concorde was never a manufacturer in their own right. They always outsourced production of their frames to contract framebuilders. This thread is an interesting thread.
In later years (once the brand had received some great promotion in the euro peleton) models at the lower end of the scale were a natural way to increase market share, though obviously not that successful over the longer term.
I have one of those fluoro Europas as well, and it looks to be a "fitness bike". I suspect the rear end is 1020 steel. The Belelux equivalent of a Repco Superlite IMHO.
I also own this as well (well, it's my partners bike now). A 2011 Concorde Alloy framed roadie with a carbon fork. It seems that Wiggle now owns the rights to the name, and used it to brand a modern PDM replica. Chain Reaction has done the same thing (but on a much bigger scale) with Viner.
