1991(?) F. Moser Leader -- Team Gatorade team livery
My riding buddy just picked this up, and I'm very jealous (my size, too 
). The oddball fillet brazed Italian. Oria tubing with full Dura Ace 7400. Any way to know whether this is an actual team bike? Did Moser sell these to the public in the team livery?
Please ignore the seller's crappy pedals.

The green flames make the bike more aerodynamic. This bike is smoking hot.

Yes, they did sell that color scheme to the public. I would expect an actual team frame to have more decals (front of forks, for example) and no pump peg, maybe a number hanger.
Regardless, those are very nice bikes and your friend should be happy.

Man. That's sweet!

It's actually a can of tomatoes. Though I suppose the better bet for an Italian would have been a can of imported San Marzanos.

Sweet ride. Gatorade rode Mosers in 91 before switching to Bianchis in 92. Your bike has full Dura Ace which would have been the correct group at that time
