Moser Leader AX with Campagnolo Croce D'aune

Found a Leader in my size.
Looking at building it with an almost complete Croce D'aune group and GP4.
Forgive the picture quality.

Levers are 2nd Gen C Record as I have found it difficult to find a nice pair of "powergrade" levers for an affordable price.

Front derailleur will probably be C Record as I find it looks better than the Chorus used for Cda.

But..... but..... the group set is too old for that Leader..... Also I assume you've got yourself one of those pain in the arse to find expanding seat posts? I only mention the group set because my AX is such a pleasure to ride that I can't imagine riding it with down tube shifters & Deltas, if anything go more modern (I'm always thinking of 'upgrading' from 8sp Campag to 10 speed Ultegra that I have on another bike and will the day the 8 sp dies, but for now the campag 8sp is solid and more dependable than the Ultegra......) , you won't be disappointed, Leader AX is an amazing bike to ride

I've also done a 10 Speed group on a 90s frame (Merckx Leader with DA 7800)

Special seat post - Yes I have that.
The Leader frame is 93' and I think that the Cda was produced until 90' so I don't think it's too far from each other and love my other bikes with DT shifters.

It's true the earlier Leaders did have group sets not so far from what you're planning (and look sweet!) https://www.flickr.com/photos/cronobikes/5232071293/ One day, though, treat yourself, put something a bit more modern and responsive on there (even if by only a few years) and you won't regret it. There will always be a special place in my heart for my Moser AX, I've done thousands of km on it and it's still my first choice for bombing across town.

Looking forward to see this completed.

Dan, I'm really curious to see that finished!!! It's true what @mellion said: Croce is too old for this AX (but not too much). So let's see the result!!!

This is mine with c-record (not yet upgraded):

I forgot to show you the substitute of this one:
Leader AX94 - Team Jolly componibili/Cage (Zenon Jaskula)

Wow, a frame from one of the greatest Polish pro riders ever. Great find mate!

Also known as the glass eating GB-rider.

Maybe I've invented a new type of build -
It's not period correct,
it's not retro /modern
:)

There's an ITM Moser panto'd 100mm stem if you're interested https://www.lfgss.com/conversations/315663/#comment14047173

Old groupset on a modern frame?

Retro-neo.

Nice one, bought it.

@Jimmy_Fingers @Poetic
I like both idea's for this build.

Group together. Just need to find some time to get it fitted.

I'm not sure what you mean Wim ?

How you call a bike built from retro and newer parts. ;)
