F.Moser 51.151

F.Mose finished, with complete Shimano Exage Sport groupset, and wheels.

The Francesco Moser 51.151 was manufactured as celebration of the World Hour Record set by Francesco Moser in 1984 in Mexico City. Many Moser's models were named 51.151.

Colnago Super Thron finished

New bike

Today I bought a new bike, an Italian BERNARDI bike:

CAMPAGNOLO NUOVO GRAN SPORT groupset
Universal brakes, Rino seatpost

Size seat tube 53 cm c-c

Size top tube 54,5 cm c-c

New rear derailleur

The rear derailleur  I got with the Campagnolo Chorus groupset was from the Athena groupset, so I got a new one, It was a Chorus, but a 6/7 speed, not a 8 speed.
I ordered a new Chorus rear derailleur and I got it today, now I have the last item, now I just need to adjust the brakes and gear, and last put handlebar tape on.

New project Allegro Eddy Merckx

The next project I will work on, until I get the last items for the Colnago, is a Allegro Eddy Merckx from about 1970.
Allegro had a deal with Eddy Merckx to become one of only three manufacturers licenced to produce bikes with the Merckx name and graphics, prior to Eddy’s racing retirement and the construction of his own frame shop. Quick to capitalize on the relationship with the greatest cyclist of all time, it was in fact Eddy’s image that took the cover of the 1974 Allegro catalog and if you were to order a 1970’s vintage model 26 or 76, it would indeed by painted orange with the familiar Merckx logo and frame dressings.

The frame has got some new decals, and will be equipped with a Shimano 600 group set.
The bottom bracket is French thread, the width is 68 mm, and thread 35 mm x 1mm (1.378 x 25.4 tpi)
