1997 CONCORDE STELVIO BY KLAASSEN

Again a great bike with potential in our opinion. Why? In his days it was leading with a standard carbon fork. Especially as the frame is from aluminum, this makes the base very interesting and in a way comparable with nowadays road bikes. The tubing visually is still subtle (no freaky shapes), so all looks like a nice classic bike, but with very modern elements.
The paint was/is in great condition, just some light patina (traces of use).
Visually the total could be better, stronger. The devil is in the details. So we opted for focussing on the existing chrome accents. It used to be a mix of chrome and black but we brought it back to more chrome (look at that beautiful stem we found! ). For this older bike we wanted to emphasise the classic element of it. So, the bike has an oldskool look but due to the high end aluminum frame, the modern H+Son wheels and the oldskool Profile carbon fork this bike rides really modern. We could have gone for Campagnolo Vento or Shamal wheels, but opted for these as these are lighter, wider, handbuilt AND 11 speed ready, so easier for group upgrades in the future! Ofcourse we thoroughly cleaned the bike, serviced components, topped it off with new Brooks classic handlebar tape, our signature bottle cage and extra light inner tubes.
We gave it a bit more character. Subtle but enough.
