Thanks a lot for this interesting thread on concorde's, gallery of beautiful bike pictures, and Billato history. Since I bought this frame from guy in California via e-bay, destiny of italian frames in USA is especially interesting. Previous owner think that frame was not repainted and dates after 2002:


" I really don't know its history (it is too small for me, so I bought it and transferred the components onto a frame that is my size.). It had a Campagnolo Centaur 10-speed group when I purchased it - I'm guessing that it was original to the frame, so it would need to have been produced in 2002 or newer. I don't think it was repainted - the chrome and threads looked so nice and clean. Sometimes, when I see a bike that has been repainted, there is pitting on the chrome or dirt in the bottom bracket or other signs of heavy use - it just looks like this Concorde was well-treated and not ridden very much. "


There were Concorde's painted with one solid color at least in 1993, see page from that year catalog attached. Also their track model Astore Pista from above menthioned flickr gallery. So anything possible.
