  • Has to be pink!

  • Pink

  • You have to go pink. Only other option is mint green track drops imho.

  • Clashy please

  • Do you mean these?

  • Pink pink pink pink
    Did I say pink?
    No, right?

    Pink

  • Pink

  • Yaas. Always wanted to see what that'd look like on something other than this. I fear the blue will be a bit different.

    But you do have to go pink. You can't get a Moser and not recreate this.

  • Pink no doubt

  • The Great bar tape debate is over for now. Just purchased -

  • I now need idea's on a saddle. I'm not keen on any modern saddle.
    At the moment it's between a Unicanitor or a Hinault Turbo

  • Well, you said you like a challenge when sourcing parts so I suggest a selle italia super turbo / world champion.
    P.s. I think I read somewhere that there was a bit of a feud between moser and cinelli, so I'd put on a 3ttt cockpit rather than Cinelli. I might be completely wrong tho...

  • The super turbo, is that the one with all the plastic at the front and back

  • Tell me more about the feud

  • Yes, that's the one. I thought of it since it would match the coloured stripes on the top tube. Like I said, unfortunately I don't remeber where I read it, and it might have been between cinelli and another brand but I seem to remember that it was something along the lines of Cinelli becoming too dominant in the market after they had been taken over by Columbus in 1978. Like I said, could be complete bullshit, maybe @Lesente or @anidel could shed some light on this. All f moser pantoed stems I've seen so far were 3ttts, might be a coincidence though.

    p.s. there where definitely close ties between moser and 3ttt since he set his world record on 3ttt bullhorns which were prototypes at the time.

  • Moser uses the Cinelli when he rode on the benotto. Then he uses 3TTT. So, if u want a perfect stem, use a 3TTT pista.
    I also saw some cinelli panto stem (1R) but they are really rare and the pista version doesn't exist.
    For the saddle super turbo is not the appropriate saddle, but i like it very much as u can see

  • What would be the appropriate saddle @Lesente

  • The right one would be a white turbo from 85/86 but I think the super turbo it is ok too. Pherhaps is less difficult to mantain. The vetta it's better too, but alwais in white.
    For tape i think that the benotto (the white one) is for a year older. Better is the ambrosio professional in white colour.
