Hi all what would this Concorde mistral in pdm colours be worth it's got a brand new headset but needs a BB.

since you're in ireland, i don't think anyone's valuation here is going to be reliable. that is, unless you want to put it up on ebay and ship world wide. that will cost a bit of money though, considering the 10% ebay fee, 3% paypal fee, and the international mailing costs.

what i can say is that it's a decent frame. aelle was lower tier, perhaps columbus' lowest. still, i think the columbus name adds some cache on the market.

Ok well I am looking at buying it, would 531 be a lot better ?

Weight for the tube set is butted and 2345 g. I doubt that you could tell the difference from 531 in two similarly built-up bikes. I think we all get way too hung up on what steel is used, whether it is double butted, triple butted, splined or whatever. Yes, there is a difference or everyone would build with one set. But just find a bike that fits you and ride it. That Concorde looks very nice.

I asked the seller he says it weighs between 2.3 and 2.4 kg with the forks, headset and bb together

Around $200

Ok thanks for your help I'm just looking around for now the guys looking €160 which is 220 dollars it's Abit steep as there is a nice 531 frame with campy dropouts for €150

I looked up the weight of Reynolds 531 tube sets and came up with 2,140 g. FWIW.

But keep in mind frame components, lugs, bridges, etc., all contribute to ultimate weight.

Well Intend on the bike being single speed with a front and rear brake.

The reynolds frame and fork set I planned on purchasing was sold. At a very low price ah well

TugaDude

Don't worry! Another bike will appear. They usually do right after you have just bought one.
