Ok, actually picked this up yesterday, but just got around to postin it up. Looks to be an all original Concord Super Demon. Has alot of nice parts on it (maxy cross cranks, gold top SR stem, front and rear Dia-Compes, and Araya 7Xs with Sunshine hubs). The thing i dont get is the bike has all these great parts on what looks like a very low end frame. Anyone remember these at all?

i remember the brand, but not how they were spec'd.

huffy and murray both had some bikes with a pretty similar/decent spec on cheaper frames, so i wouldn't rule this out as "stock".

i have 2 ...the demon dx and the foxx . the dx was cromo and came with tange cromo forks and 7c rims super maxy cranks ....nice welds ,crappy rear dropout . one of the giant co. mass produced drops like when they made schwinn .

sorry i ment maxy cross

Anybody have an idea on the year of this thing? I'm guessin early 80's from the parts on it. Serial numbers on the dropouts are C9382 and 2074152.

My cousin had one that looked just like that I do think his might have been a Super Demon DX. Looks like the same parts his had Araya 7xs and grab on grips. I dont remember the chainguard though. I thought his bike was the coolest bike ever when I first saw it. I would guess he got his between 81-83.

I am pretty sure Concord was made and distributed by Columbus Cyclery. Probably why they are so predominant around ohio. A guy at an LBS told me when Columbus Cyclery went out of business they had all the shop owners go to vets memorial where they had all of their stock for sale.

I have one of the later models that came with an X for the gusset. These came out about 84-86. Someone posted a similar one on here from Texas I think but they had a different name for it.

lets see it

I don't have any pics of it. I tried to find the thread with the similar one, but I couldn't.

did it have chain guard tabs welded on to frame?
dion

It may have. Was it yours?

dayride is right, it's around 81-83. And Columbus Cycle did have something to do with it, I rode one exactly like this one for a short time; it was on loan from Whitmans.

I dont recall it but your correct in stating the "upgraded" parts. Looks crazy with the three piece cranks and chain guard.
IS this really how they came?

More tha likely it is a stock bike. They had different levels Demon, Super Demon, or Demon DX. My cousin's had gold cranks I think 3 piece and KKT pedals. Concord also made some pretty good 10 speeds and road bikes.

i have a Super Demon dx.chrome with blue ...suntour stem blue, alloy bars blue 7c's ,blue maxi cross ...non loop tail sweet welds gusset looks as close to a cooks as the law would allow.
ihave had this for 20+ years . started cleaning it up and never finished .
im going to put it back to factory specs .......its cool
it had a clear over the chrome that yellowed . after polishing it off dang chrome looks new.

Ok guys, lookin for opinions here. Should i keep it together since it's an almost complete early 80's survivor or use it as a donor for the parts? I know the parts are wait make this thing, but, just dont feel right tearing apart a survivor like this.

Man you can not tear into that bike. It is too perfect in the shape it is in!!

+ 1 on that!!!

Give it a good scrub and polish...it looks to be in awesome condition...

I agree, clean it up and put it on a stand....chain-guard and all.
