Concorde & "Colfako"

Hi there!

I'm not a very frequent or active poster but i would like to show you some of my other bikes.
The first one is a Fake "Colnago", it was sold somewhere in the early 80's in Belgium.
It's a good frame and i like it, but it's not nearly as good as a real Colnago.
Sorry for the shock your about to receive, but I build a fixed wheel bike out of it. (don't kill me... )
not because of the hype in some countries but just because i like my daily rides clean and simple like they were in the old days. (1920's-30's)


Seatpost is SR Sakae and the seat is an old San Marco Rolls.
Headset is Hatta Hattaswan... i know the bike is a real mix of parts but thats fine by me.
ITM stem and drops.


Yes i ride with brakes because i'm not tired of living...
If you have ever ridden in "Leuven" my home town you would know what i'm talking about.
Shimano 600 brakes by the way... without hoods because i couldn't find any "new" ones that fit.
I do like the chrome look of them though.


Mavic CXP22 rim's and too expensive Goldtec hubs, some schwalbe Ultremo's and we are good to go!
not vintage; i know but it was that or some stainless steel rims and a sturmey archer 3 speed.
But i like my bike nice and light so that was a no brainer.


The drivetrain is a mix of dura ace in the back and SR Sakae in the front.
MKS track pedals with clips and straps.

total weight of the bike is somewhere near 8-9kg's (17,6-19,8 pounds?) so not too heavy.
I hope you like it?! I know I do and in the end thats what counts, isn't it?
Next i will be posting my semi-vintage concorde...
