Hi all... First time poster, long time reader.

I picked up a frame from a kid on craigslist the other day and I'm building it into a bar bike so I don't leave my nice cross bike chained up outside my favorite watering holes.

It's a Concorso GT and I can't find out a THING about it on all of the internets. I did unearth a thread on these forums from '07 where someone asked the same thing but didn't get much response. I also found some pics on someone's photobucket.





Does anyone have any info on Concorso bikes?

Nothing... ?

One more time to the top for the east coast, at-work crowd.

Though I can offer little, to no, information on your specific bicycle, I can comment on the class from which it springs.

Hundreds of different bicycle makes were made, from generic frame sets, and my guess is your bicycle features one of those frames. The Asian frame will be made of low end tubing, at best, with stamped steel drops. The components will be slightly above entry level. The bicycle will increase in value, but it will be a long time before it is of great value(my opinion).

Ride quality will be OK but nothing inspiring, again, in my opinion.

You can check approximate vintage by studying some of the components fitted. Visit the Trek page on Dating Components and learn how to determine the vintage of your bicycle.

Visiting MY "TEN SPEEDS" might help with some of the bicycle quality questions that come to mind.

I hope I have been a help and do not feel dismay that your bicycle is not high end. It will be a fun bicycle to ride and certainly unusual, when all other bystanders are, well, standing by.

Bye and best of luck with your bicycle.

Thanks for the info you could give! It seems the Concorso brand is lost to the ages... I'm not the least bit worried that the frame isn't of high quality. This is a budget (under 250) build meant to be my in-town runabout. It will get locked up outside of shady bars and haul 12 packs of beer and gallons of milk from the grocery store.

I'll take a look at the linked pages and try to determine what I can from the pics I've found.

Thanks again!

Bike has all the signs of one of the store brand/private label bikes from the bike boom.
