SOLD - FS - 54 ish late 80s Milanetti, Columbus steel, 600 tricolor

It is with a heavy heart etc... I love this bike, but it can't do touring duty so I hope someone has as much fun with it as I've had for the past decade or more.

Right, first up - it's not a Moser, previous owner stuck Moser decals on it, I thought they looked ok and left them. It’s actually a Milanetti from the late 80s, but I never bothered to confirm model. Let's call it a Moseretti. Fork is a panto'd BMZ (Biemmezeta). Judging by the weight and ride feel, it's most likely Columbus SL. It's been powdercoated at some point and has drillium dropouts at the rear.

The GOOD:

Shimano 600 Tricolor crankset, BB, headset, RD/FD and DT shifters. All works buttery smooth as it should, quite amazing for a 30+year old set up.
ITM quill
105 5500 brakes
Avid levers
Deda Dritto bars
Fizik Ardea saddle
Surprisingly competent and new Chinese flats
Shimano Rs 10 wheels
28 GP 5000 tyres, life in them yet.
9 sp SRAM cassette and KMC x9 Chain < 500 miles on both
MOSER bar end caps!!!
LFGSS sticker!!!
It's RAD

The BAD

Seat post is stuck - so you're going to need to free it up or be 5'5 - 5'11 I reckon. I'm 5'9 and it's perfect.
There's surface rusting on the chrome on the fork and the DS chainstay. I've cleaned and oiled, but it'll probably come back.
It's 126mm at the back so I've had to be a little forceful to get modern wheels in an out. Never bothered me, but if does you, you know what to do.

Pick up/try on - SE27 or HHV

Hard to price, but let's say £175? I'm sure you'll let me know if I'm off...

Hey mate- could come this Sunday or Monday to have a look at the bike if you’re interested! How does £150 sound?

150 sounds like you don’t need the wheels… ;)

The tyres alone have got to be worth more than £25.

Haha- Would love to take it away in one piece! I’m at the top of my budget with £150 that‘s all :)

Let's see if anyone wants it for 175 ono, which I think is pretty fair for a piece of quality Italian steel. Give it a few days, if there's no takers, we can have a chat about it. Fair?

You've dropped your keys, dude...

Have a bump. This looks a fun city bike.

Sounds good mate no worries 👍🏼

countdown has begun... any takers at or near 175? If not, I think you're up ... I'm around Sunday if that helps.

Hi mate- still happy to come around on Sunday. Let me know your preferred method of payment/time etc. If you’re interested in the offer.

Hi - check your DMs... thanks

Sold to a good home - thanks all.
