Concorde Prelude road bike

I came across someone selling it in a non-bike-specific forum I frequent, an older road bike of Columbus SL tubings and Shimano 600 ex parts. I bargained and got it at a reasonable price.

The bike came in a rather horrible state - 1 closed dropout and a too tightened bottom-bracket. Obviously mistreated by at least one of its previous owners, surprising as Italian road bikes are usually well taken care off. It took me 3 days to fix the damaged parts as well as making the bike ridable. Next job is to get a new spray-job for the frame... a winter project.

I hope I will have an alternative bike to the Moulton to ride next summer.
