@ serious contributors to thread: common sense dictates that an individual will always value something they desire more highly than something they don't want. A bike here is an engaging collusion of function, fashion and 'collect-ability', so in terms of function, 475 will buy you a new baseline Trek etc. The Moser is clearly head and shoulders above ( that's my own personal taste, others may prefer a shiny new Taiwan clone ) Fashion? something like the Moser oozes class and panache, ( to me at least...) and as a collector, if cared for could possibly return more if you rode it for a year and moved it on than 475 stuck in a crappy 2% stuck in a High St BS.
M...If 475 is too much in your assessment, find something in your spending range you really like, that's the bottom line to be honest.
