Pics to come. I picked up a concorde Aquilia frame at a local not for profit. It is a little worse for where, but chrome on stays seem intact. It is an 88-89 PDM replica. It is lugged sweetness and the best part is that it is in my size! (55ish) My thoughts are one of two ways, find an era correct record group in similar cosmetic condition (right now 5/10 cosmetically, but with some elbow grease it may get up to 6 possibly 7) or go the SS route. The biggest part that is missing is unfortunately the chrome Columbus fork. It seems that the model specific fork had a very awesome concorde engraving on it. Anybody have thoughts on where to find one or in lieu of that one close in appearance and worthy of the slx frame I am putting it on.

Very nice find. By Record group do you mean Corse Record, aka C-Rec? I hope you have deep pockets that can get pricy.

If that was mine I would go for a Soma straight blade chrome fork and after finding a nice Campi 172.5 crank, and Monoplanor style brakes ass a older 600 RD and shifters.

True, I forgot c-record was hte 14 speed era. I probably would stick to chorus or something lower, as this was not the top of the l line model from what I understand (not campy drop outs as an indicator). I have always loved tricolor 600, so thought about going that route. And if I go SS I will probably go Some straight blade, but if I build it up as a geared bike I would want something similar to original.

NO C-Rec spans the '85 to '93 years when Ergo came out. CampI dropped the Corse just before ergo came on the scene so C-Record is 12 or 12 speed.

If it really is SLX tubes that is a good indicator of top of the line, and so is that number tab. A lot of companies didn't use Campi dropouts but had their own made, possibly by the same supplier. Basso, Colnago and I believe Derosa as well. My Max Bianchi frame have a shimano dropout so a Campi drop is not always on the crème de la creme

My question is does anybody know what seatpost this may take? I tried to insert a 27.2 and a 26.6. 27 maybe? Did ciocc slx frames take a consistent size?
