I picked this up at a thrift store today. Muddy, scratched, and ugly as anything i have ever seen. I have never heard of Concorso. I searched the name in the forum here and no hits. Any idea what this thing is? 27 inch steel wheels, Falcoln deraulers, 6 speed cog set. I took a couple pics for your viewing. I'm sure its an el-cheapo for the day.........There are no readable stickers on the frame with the exception of the headtube sticker. Lugs look kinda cool..........

Yeah... It's a low-end bike from the early 70's but I like the clear brake/der cable. Take off that pie plate on the rear wheel, remove the kickstand, put on some new bar wrap and the thing would be kind of funky-cool.

I have a Concorso GT which had one owner who bought it in 1975. He beat on it with a wrench because he spent a hundred fifty dollars on it and couldn't tune up the rear falcon derailleur. Those derailleurs mounting brackets are designed to be bent into tune. I took it out of the box in 2006 and tuned the rear derailleur in a matter of seconds. I've put about 400 miles on it.


It has two new mismatched wheels. The front rim was bent outward and was hazardous during braking. The rear wheal needed some broken spokes replaced and most of the rest broke when they tried to service it.


The original foam grips (like in the picture) deteriorated so now I have basic black foam grips.


I'm going to put a set of full black polycarbonite fenders on it today when I get the proper hardware along with a handle bar end mirror.


I'll get some baskets for it as well.


I replaced the peddles with peddle traps.


It has a nice Italian sounding name, but it was made in Taiwan.


By todays standards it seems pretty well made.

Oh, yes. Mine still looks new. I have 3 other bikes.
