I'm gonna buy a new record headset in the not so distant future to replace this old worn out thing. Thank you for your help :)

Yeah, balls down is right. Now got the headset properly adjusted, or as good as I can get it, and the wobbling is gone. Low speed instability is a lot less and I can let go of the bars, although it's not perfect, as the bike is pulling a bit to the left. I'm thinking I should probably replace...

So I did the headset overhaul and it's got some issues. The surface of the ring around the fork tube has got some "wounds" and when I'm adjusting the headset I can't make it move freely without play. Tightening enough to avoid play, the bike becomes now even more unstable. One thing I'm...

Not sure about the forks. As written in earlier post there is no visible damage to them, and previous owner said he had never had a crash, FWIW. He used to race it in the early 90's I have suspected this all the time, but always thought I'd have to take the bike to some sort of an expert to...

At low speed (10-20km/h)it's hard to keep balance, and at high speed it's wobbling. Walking the bike next to me just holding the saddle, the bike don't track nicely next to me, but there is no play. I shall grease the bearings and adjust again. And, yeah the holding the handlebars at all time...

Headset works as it should.

100 mm stem now, and 110 before that.

I'm having an issue with this bike, or maybe just the fork. :( When letting go of the handlbar with both hands, bike starts to wobble in speeds above 30 km/h, and is also unstable in lower speeds, meaning I don't wanna let go of the handlebar with both hands at almost any speed. I've ridden it...

What period/year did they use monoplanars?

If I'd had two old Concorde's, I'd go modern with one and old with the other. One for the aesthetics's and to the pub, and the other for the longer rides with the convenience of modern shifting and gear ratios. But that's just me though...

Re: Concorde Flies Again... soon Congrats, it looks boss, jackosbournesnr. Is the front shifting indexed or friction?

Thank you for the compliment, and blue rims Im afraid.

Starting this thread after some encouragement. Bought the bike from an old racer which had it in his basement for ages. SLX tubing, with chips and some rust. Decals fading... 56 cm frame 11 sp Athena Mavic open SUP rims and Chorus hubs Vittoria Corsa 25 tyres Deda Piega bars Cinelli 1a...

Re: Concorde Flies Again... soon Interesting project this. Will be followed with interest. Is it 9 speed rear mech? btw here's my Aquila, fitted with an 11 Athena

Lovely. I have a similar colored Lemond, although it's an SL.

Very nice bike.

Re: Autumnal ride I concur

That's a really nice frame. You'll be longing for your baby while on holiday... :)

It's a nice looking bike anyhow...
