I picked this up at a thrift store today. Muddy, scratched, and ugly as anything i have ever seen. I have never heard of Concorso. I searched the name in the forum here and no hits. Any idea what this thing is? 27 inch steel wheels, Falcoln deraulers, 6 speed cog set. I took a couple pics for your viewing. I'm sure its an el-cheapo for the day.........There are no readable stickers on the frame with the exception of the headtube sticker. Lugs look kinda cool..........

Yeah... It's a low-end bike from the early 70's but I like the clear brake/der cable. Take off that pie plate on the rear wheel, remove the kickstand, put on some new bar wrap and the thing would be kind of funky-cool.
