Moser Leader AX TT time trial 1993 Gatorade

Hi guys!

After Pinarello Prologo and Colnago Master Krono, this is another time trial project....but now i chose a more recent frame 90's :)
Here some photos....Moser Leader AX Time Trial from young team Gatorade 1993.
The frame is NOS never mounted :) and this is a big size 61 vertical tube, little too big for me (my ideal size is 59) but it's not a problem :)

For this project i chose a complete Campagnolo C-Record groupset of 1993, third generation!

Two days ago i went to a friend who have a bike shop and laboratory to cut the fork and assemble the c-record bottom bracket and headset :)

bottom bracket has a 70SPc axle and the headset is c-record 1993

Very nice Robert!
Looking forward to see this build finished.

I presume this needs a specific seatpost?

Yes! It need an expander seatpost :)

I have the Campagnolo original NOS seatpost for this frame....but i don't use it. i will use another one i have used...also campagnolo

subbed. best colour scheme

many scoblebricks

Bellissima, can't wait to see what you're planning to put on this!

this is gonna be the build of 2015, what a beauty !

Awesome frame!! I love that colour scheme, can't wait to see this one finished!

Thanks! A friend of mine has another one of this frame.....same colors...but with Moser 51.151 fork and it is a 57.5 virtual (about 55 real) and it's not nos....it is used...with some little scratches...no seatpost....but he want a lot of money (600 euro)

So, i have just most of components for this project :)

About the pedals, i have the Campagnolo Record QR pedals but I don't like them very much....so in the catalogue there were also Record TBS pedals very beautiful :)

Awsome, I hope you use downtube shifters rather than the ergopowers.

did 8sp bar end shifters exsit in ´93 ?

i have em on my ´94 prologo.

Ergopowers (or sti's) on tt bikes weren't that uncommon around 1993. Plus those first gen ergopowers were pretty elegant.

That is beautiful.

I have the ergopower Record 8 speed first version of 1992-93....but there is a problem :)
The team director told me that they used 7 speed on this frame.....because usually time trials bike had less gear than a roadbike.....

some of the cyclists of that team used shifters on the downtube.....Others used bar-end 7 speed shifters.

Now, i don't have 7 speed bar end shifters....so,for the moment, i will use 7 speed shifters syncro c-record on downtube :)

And i have only 7 speed lenticular wheels....not 8 speed....if i find a 8 speed discwheel i will use the ergopower :) but for the moment i have a Fir Halley and a Campagnolo ghibli both 7 speed freewheel....

Theese some photos :)

I think I have a Sachs 8 speed freewheel somewhere, that I'm not using. Interested?

Lol man, those 90s Tri bars were truly offensive!
Stunner frame, looking forward to this build for sure.

Thanks, but i have also a NOS Sachs 8 speed freewheel 13-21.....but I and my friend in the bike shop tried to use it on the Fir Halley and it is impossible to do....
we would change the axle with a longer one, but then we must enlarge the rear part of the frame to assemble the wheel...and my friend is not agree :)))

I know that little enlargement on a steel frame is not a big problem, but i don't want to risk...:)

Anyway, i have also a Rauler TT bike of 1992 of an ex-cyclist and it is shimano 600 7 speed with 7 speed sincro shifters....so i think 7 speed in 1993 is not too wrong :)

Should have known, you're well stocked in the nice componentry department!

Hah yeah, cold setting such a frame, no thanks :)
