Full Shimano 600 Tricolor groupset, Mavic rims, Cinelli stem and bars, and rather interestingly Ritchey saddle, seatpost, and tires.

Can't find much information about Concorde in the mid 90's. I understand their earlier frames were constructed in Europe, and later their lower tier offerings came out of Taiwan. But this is unmistakably built for racing. The Tange-Ritchey connection is particularly curious but I haven't found any similarities between this frame and the earlier Ritchey Road frames, other than the tubing.

Oh, I should mention that it rides beautifully. (Too new to post photo or link to photo, unfortunately. Uploaded images to my album though for those who are curious)
