Moser Leader AX - 1994 Hour record

So, I got an old lenticular

Technically that's not a lenticular wheel as its cross section is rectangular ;)

So just an old disc wheel then :)

On their way now a set of Dura Ace FC 7600 167,5mm cranks and 7600 55t ring.
Anyone ever bought from NJS Export? Fast delivery?

Almost done! Now needs a tt saddle (because of parallel rails, potatochopped on this pic), and the fc7600 crankset coming from japan (parcelforce pls).
Need to decide if bond the cog or find an alternative solution tho.

Get it on a track and go for an hour

it's funny how high is the probability of not being let inside any velodrome with this freak :)

do you now what brand seatpost is?
How about old track discs, aren't they similar to road ones with spacing adjusting?

Chain line

ah right.
but what is bb axle length?

The bb axle is 66.6mm long (funny number)

do you now what brand seatpost is?

It's an unbranded seatpost with the exact same design of the ones branded Campagnolo, so, knowing that Campagnolo was having their posts made by other manufactures probably it's the same... The limit warning is the same as campy.

, knowing that Campagnolo was having their posts made by other manufactures probably it's the same...

Is this hearsay? I very much doubt this as campagnolo has a lot of forging knowhow.

Seatpost is campag alright. Not sure if they made these quill versions themselves though, might be third party mods.

Yes it's just hearsay but I thought there was some truth as I heard it quite few times... I'll try to find someone that was close to the manufacture back home and ask...

Thinking of a saddle, I'd like something with some lumbar support, what about a Kashimax aero? Anyone knows the angle of rails?
I couldn't find any period correct nice ones, like Vetta, selle bassano or Selle Italia...

very nice looking bike

I really want to solve the rear wheel enigma... I spoke with a lot of people but nobody knows what I can actually do, why did I study art instead of engineering? :(

100mm is not weird - it is almost exactly the standard British spacing for single fixed - four and a quarter inches!

Perhaps Francesco was intending to use Airlite hubs - he could have done a lot worse.

So I think your difficulty is simply that you are over metricated!

(Of course, I do realise you may have a problem with chain line.)

**Where to use it.

**Well, you could join the Hounslow - our club track record for the Hour is just short of 25 miles and therefore *looks *beatable. It was done at Palmer Park Track, Reading. No one would object to this machine there.

This record was set a couple of years ago by Nic Stagg, the previous record was only a few hundred yards less and was the work of Bob Garlinge at Paddington as long ago as 1969. Our Rob Gilmore is threatening to have a go this year, so it's currently an active area as these things go.

I don't have the exact figures to hand, but I can get them if you're interested.

Thanks for the advices, seriously I've never had a bike with these charateristics...
Thanks as well for the info about a club/track that will let me try this bike, just let me finish it and make it ready for few tests to understand the handling.

finally I was able to try the position, it feels like you are on rocket mode, all your body is positioned on the stem, and of course seems fast.
Now ready for some last aesthetic touches.

Its beautiful

you could put a bb lockring on rear hub for some extra protection.

awesome build.

video of a ride would be cool

Oh snap, that's a helluva bike! Well done!

amazing project. needs pink bar tape.
