Among the small number great champions who set up a bicycle production whilst still riding races is Francesco Moser, the 'Sheriff'.
In his professional years, Moser, one of the most winning riders ever, equipped his team with bikes that were labelled with his own name. Almost all of those team bikes were built by Ugo de Rosa.
Later, around 1977 De Rosa helped to transform the small workshop of Francesco Moser’s brother Aldo Moser into a high end frame manufacture. In the late 1970s the Family Moser started manufacturing professional road bikes in Trento, northern Italy. When Francesco broke the world hour record in 1984, the cycling line was named 51.151 after the number of meters that were covered in this attempt.
Our F. Moser Classic Road Bicycle stems from 1980s and it's core - the frame - has been placed quite high in the company's offer hierarchy. There are not just the long pointy lugs with Moser cut-outs or pantographed seat stay caps, the shifting cable is also routed inside the chain stay.
It is equipped with fine Campagnolo Nuovo and Super Record parts some of which have been pantographed. Pantographed is also the 3ttt stem and the leather saddle sports a F.Moser branding.
This attractive F. Moser in champagne paintjob is a great choice for classic cycling events which works well and pleases the eyes at the same time.
