As much as I hate to let this bike go, I simply don't have the time to ride it or the money to keep it. I'm going to be out of the country until next year soon so hopefully someone else can make better use of the bike. I picked up the bike last Fall with intentions replace all the wear items (levers, brake and derailleur cable/housing, etc.), but never got the chance to. I will include all the items I've collected for the purpose, listed below under "Additional items included." The previous owner is a bike mechanic who tuned up the bike up before selling it to me. The bike is functional except for a flat back tire.

The bicycle is a vintage Italian Francesco Moser, probably from the early 80's. There is amazing decorative detail work on the frame. To name a few: chromed fork and chainstay, pantographed lugs, and bottom bracket casting cutout. The cutout is my favorite detail of the frame; it reads FM for Francesco Moser. Decals on seat tube seem to be smudged in a shop stand clamp but all other decals look pretty good. And of course there is that cool graphic of Francesco on the head tube! Pictures below.


Here are the specifications:

-Columbus frame and fork
-Ofmega crank and headset
-Dura Ace front derailleur
-Shimano 600 rear derailleur
-Universal 68 brakes
-Campagnolo downtube shifters
-Campagnolo seat post.
-Campagnolo dropouts (one rear adjuster screw is bent).
-Nitto stem and drop bars
-Miche competition hubs and Araya rims
-Specialized 700 x 28C touring tires with gum walls


Additional items included:

-new Soma Ensho saddle (black with yellow accent)
-used Shimano RSX aero brake levers
-complete yellow cork bar tape set
-5' of yellow brake cable housing
-pair of quick release skewers
