This is a wierd month. :?
That Concorde was for sale for ages - and the original seller was giving it away for peanuts. I'm shocked its romping into the lead like it is... even beating Archangels Adroit!? That makes no sense.
Dont get me wrong - I love that colour of the Concorde and it does look an awesome fast bike - I'm just surprised how people have voted.
Backhanders Jez, Backhanders
No seriously, I'm shocked myself. Now don't get me wrong, its a great bike, I love it to bits, but I thought it would get hammered by the opposition. I hoped it would pick up 2 or 3 votes for being a bit different. I didn't expect it to be so well received.
Personally I think its great for BOTM though. There has been a few comments lately on the cost of building a contender, and the increasing standard of builds just to be in with a shout. Goes to show that anything can do well, it just doesn't have to be a rare mega build that took years of pain to put together. In this instance it appears to boil down to a rather nice shade of Orange.
Thanks everyone for the votes so far, really kind of you. In all honesty, I just slapped some parts on it, was done in a week for not alot of dosh. Frame and forks came from Radjetoe and for this he deserves the lions share of the credit.
On a final note. Concorde is sat in the kitchen tonight looking super filthy. Had a right good spanking today....and yes Jez, it is awesome fast, even with a fat pillock riding it!
