I put the original photo s from the sales listing in my original post but will take some of my own as well. The paint is clearly an original PDM with lots of use and it does have the typical Altech drops and is definitely SLX as you can see and feel the rifling. I am wondering if 52 was an atypical size for Billato / Concorde so when the request came in. They pulled a frame out of inventory that had been intended for another company, put on the correct drops and mailed it north with the correct fork for painting. The paint and decals are tired and there is some chipping and rust to deal with but this one is only getting a bunch of touchups instead of a repaint. If I repainted, no one would believe that it is a Concorde.
