Mate of mine wants to sell his road bike, he's had it about 4 years and it doesn't get any use now he commutes on an mtb.

Obviously it's a luongo, but do any of you know what that is?

Full spec:

Luongo TC2 Concept, Quattro Mono frame. Carbon stays. 55cm seat tube, 54cm top tube, 165mm headtube, 49cm chainstays (centre axle-centre BB)
Fenix carbon forks.
Ultegra front and rear mechs and sti shifters, dura ace gear indicator.
FSA integral headset
FSA energy brakes
FSA gossamer chain set with 39 & 53t rings. 130mm BCD.
Magic stem
ITM carbon bars
Bontrager carbon seatpost
Fulcrum racing etrto 622x15c wheels.
Vitoria zafiro pro tyres.



Any idea of heritage/background or value would be much appreciated.

Aye, I've heard that chap finished making frame in 1996 though, and I can't seem to find any reference to someone buying the name. It's got a Swiss sticker on it, and my mate that owns it suggested it's one of a few built for a team, but if I'm selling it for him (and I will be, on my eBay account) I want to be totally sure of what I'm selling.

It's a nice looking thing though, just a bit concerned that maybe someone was trading on a famous name.

This might explain:

13) Please be considerate when posting long links. If it is going to create a horizontal scroll bar, shorten the link. Mods who find oversized links that create horizontal scrollbars will delete your post. Use http://www.tinyurl.com to shorten your link if you find that easier than forum code.

This one is also worth noting:

16) Do not post "How much is it worth?" topics. If you want to know, look on other sites for a benchmark.

Quoted from The Rules.

Fair do's, I joined here about 15 years ago when it was mbuk so can't say I remember that rule. But shan't do it again.

I would date the frame from the mid 2000s - generic alloy frame with carbon forks and stays. Knowing whether its Columbus, Deda or some other tubing would help.fŷ

BRS added that to the rules when you were on here
