Moser classic road bike 1978 - Miche components and 100% pantographed, Moser branded parts: Another dream has come true, since after several years work and collecting special parts, we areable to show you what was one of the first Moser branded bikes were like. Francesco Moser started producing bikes in the late 70's, first he equiped them with Miche components and his own parts, which has the Moser name pantographed on them. He was one of the first to create an own brand image inthis way, so we can consider him a trend setter. The bike is a rear beauty, with so many details worth noting that we we forced to take an unusual number of photos. Please browse through them and decide for yourself when did cycling have a higer prestige: today in the age of extralight carbon parts, or three decades ago, when this bike was created?

Sannino time trial bike: This bike certainly has a distinct apperance - we are biast as we love big/small wheel time trial bikes. This is an extreme design since it has a 24" front wheel, and the rider can really lean forward on this machine. As set up now, it has a geometry like the 650C front wheel time trial bikes. The parts are all Campagnolo from the 80's, in very good condition. As you can see on the pictures, the aerodynamic concept has been taken to extremes as well: the shift levers don't stick out and the bottle is also from this "school".

Daimler Puch Vent Noir: This Austrian company built the lightest frames in the mid 1970's, and the Vent Noir was their top model. They utilized the lightest Reynolds tubes which have been miltered to the outmost precision. The component set is the 1978 Shimano Dura Ace, to be precise, this is the series which still had the "Crane" model name on the rear derailer. The chainrings were drilled by Puch to save weight - drillium was a fad at the period.

Complete Miche component set from the early 1990's: The frame is nice, chromed model, but the interesting bit on this bike is the component set - the rare Miche parts, including the brakes akin to Modolo aero, Shimano AX and the famous Campagnolo Delta. Not many of these are around, and certainly not in NOS condition! The bike can also be ridden as it does not constitute such a high value as a complete Campagnolo C-Record.

Rocky Mountain MTB: We don't have too many vintage MTBs, but this one is an exception due to its sheer beauty. It features the elevated chainstay design from the early days of MTB, which was meant to solve the chain suck phenomena. The double down tube design gave extra torsional stability, but good vertical comliance - especially using steel tubes. The Syncros rigid fork is another curiosity. The rest of the parts are made by Ritchey, the leader in the industry at the time. The Shimano XT was another standard in the 90's - a vintage MTB would be worthless without it!

Colnago MTB: Yes, Colnago did manufacture MTBs as well, from the same, excellent tubesets they used for thir renowned road bikes. The craftmanship is quite nice as well, the paint scheme is... how to say... is the trademark of the 90's. To further enhance the value of this bike, it's equipped with the legendary Campagnolo MTB component set, manufactured to compete against Shimano's excellent XT. It works fine, too bad they could not cope financially with the "blue giant".

Hooger-Booger MTB: The Germans were also manufacturing excellent MTBs in the early 90's, this bike is equipped with the legendary Shimano DX set - one of the most durable parts ever manufactured. The rigid fork and the long stem was meant to aid climbing, as the suspension forks at the time were not very good or reliable.
