    I love this bike. The handle bar is simply amazing and easy to ride. I have Univega bike and the new models are comfortable to ride and low weight. My friend just bought Univega bike but frankly I this model. Simply amazing. Thank you for sharing.

      As noted in post #5945, I've been collecting a pile of old parts from swap meets/garage finds/eBay, throughout the past year to be my "new" bike. The goal was a nice quick steel frame, with mostly Italian parts. The only real new parts are the wheels, handlebar tape, tubes&tires, cables. Here's a better picture of the resulting F.Moser Leader AX package:



      It was a VERY fun project. and.......I am really REALLY pleased with the results. The ride is sublimely smooth and quiet. All of the components seem to complement the package and work perfectly. My only problem currently is user error......I keep reaching for non-existent shifters on the downtube......ha!

        Wow I haven't seen a nice Moser in years. what tube set is that Mix of Columbus oops never mind it's Dedacciai Zero tubing.

        Great looking ride, not sure I like the modern wheels on it but I bet it rides nice with them.

          Thanks for the kind words.

          I take your point with the wheels! I have an extra set of old Mavic CXP 30 rims and I was honestly thinking of some Chris King hubs for a look sorta like I have on the Cannondale, but the build-up was gonna be more than I wanted to pay. The C' Eurus wheelset was VERY reasonably priced....and I kinda like the bladed look now.....and yes they roll really nice!

            I have some GP-4's and I will say between those and my Campy tubulars roll and roll.

            I have some Suntour Superb Pro hubs that I love, I have never serviced them and no matter what bike I ride it out glides any other wheels I have on it.

              I'm looking for a good seat. I've been riding my fixed gear a lot lately add my ass hurts so bad.

              Does anyone had a good idea for a seat? Or do I just need to suffer through ass aches.

              This is the one I have on their currently.

                I've found the turbo style saddles to be the most comfortable. Though if you haven't broken in your ass to the pain yet, everything will be an ass hatchet

                  I think I might have had one of those, and switched. Its like if I wait a week its fine, but when I ride back to back days is more then an ass hatchet, its an ass axe.

                  Maybe I'll try a turbo style that isn't just hard plastic.


                  I feel like a need one of these.

                    If that's fixed, get some foot retention. It'll make your life so much better.

                      Something Selle Italia. I have a Genuine Gel Pro-Link from a few years ago on my steel frame road bike. Very comfortable over pot-hole ridden Brooklyn.

                        Yeah its fixed. I suddenly realize how stupid it is of me NOT to have some straps. I just about went through a red light the other day going down a hill.
