Old Concept 2 Model C - real or modified?

Post by aussiebeerguy » October 22nd, 2024, 12:27 am

Hi, I just bought this old Model C on marketplace for my wife and she's questioning of it's authentic or if it's a different machine with a concept 2 monitor fitted to it. I checked the website but I can't seem to find a serial number anywhere on it. There's also no Concept 2 branding on the actual machine (for this model its usually on the seat slider).

Any insight would be appreciated!

Looks exactly like a model C to me. The monitor may have been replaced with a PM3 (rather than an old PM2/PM2+).

Yes, I believe the PM3 was introduced with the Model D. But you could get it as a retrofit for the Model C.

The serial number is just a sticker, so could've been removed.

It's identical to my C type, bought about 20 years ago.

Feet as high as seen in the foto sML.. will make it hard to row. Instructions for use are on the C2 technique page.

Yup, that's a C model. i have one I replaced the monitor with a PM5 and refurbed the bearings/chain/shock cord. About the o ly thing I truly despise are the heel slashers but I get around that by rowing in shoes.
