  • I'm not so sure the price reflects how much you need to extra cash...

  • looks nice - where abouts in London are you based for test-riding?

    just bought a frame to build up a road bicycle for faster countryside riding..

    .. tempted to switch to a complete build if it feels right..

  • I'm based in east London near Stepney if that helps.

  • £600 for a pretty boring conversion with no high quality or interesting parts?

  • Tbh i think its worth round 250, 300 if you're lucky.

    Well I guess it is lucky it's just your opinion I spent quite a bit on the frame, paintjob and transfers so I am only looking to try and make some of the money back i spent on the bike. I understand where you are coming from but if you are not interested then your comments aren't really needed. Thanks.

    on a forum? really? ehh.. you'll never get back as much as you spent. not even close to that. and if you spent more than what you are asking for.. well.. you did not spend your money wisely.

    mosers are the affordable will-last-long kind of frames but nothing out of this world (there were of course special models but this is not one of them)

    have a look on eroicacicli's site so you can see how mosers are related to other brands pricewise. if you take the much nicer cromovelato for 350 (euros that is) and some parts on the forum, you'd be able to build a much better bike for less.

    don't know if there's an english term for this, but here in hungary we say something like "this was learning-money" <<< spent a lot without knowing much.. you'll learn from the loss and do it better next time.

    not trying to diminish your bike as i'm sure it rides nice and i myself started my "narrow-tire" miles on a moser conversion (see pic) but as Gohan said: you'll be lucky if you get 300.
