Concorde Ciocci Aquila

[woodbutcher]

Question...l have just seen a Concorde Aquila but how do you tell if it is Ciocci frame ? I may be able to go take a photo of it and if so l will post it here.
The asking price seems high for a 1980's steel bike but who am l to say....maybe they are sort after !

Classy bits of kit though

Saw this bike at Marminiac getting ready for the climb out on my way to Campagnac les Quercy. Where were you heading. Are you local?

Hey nice to meet you, yes l am local from Goujounac. I was in Marminiac for a friends funeral unfortunately. Do you live around here ?

Not my area of expertise but I guess it's a Mistral and not an Aquila ?

Your expertise has not let you down because it is a Mistral !

My wife and I spend about 6 months a year at Campagnac-Les-Quercy. March to end of May and July to end of September. I normally do a Sunday 30 miler around Cenac on my vintage bike and a mid weeker around the Villefranche area.

Sounds like a plan. Not available this week as friend is over for some French cycling or next week as I have had a rush of blood to the head and I am going to try Mt Ventoux. Be aware that I am in my seventies and not that quick. Returning to UK 10th October.

No problem that makes two of us in the same age group
