MOSER Super Prestige, Campagnolo Super Record, original paint, 56cm (1981) – SOLD

Francesco Moser, born 19 June 1951 in Palù di Giovo, Trentino, nicknamed “Lo sceriffo” (The sheriff), is an Italian former professional road bicycle racer. He was dominant from the mid-1970s to the early 1980s and won the 1984 Giro d’Italia, the 1977 world road racing championship and six times in three of the five classics. He turned professional in 1973, showing a stylish pedaling style. But his powerful build meant he wasn’t a gifted climber. His 273 road victories puts him behind Eddy Merckx (525) and Rik Van Looy (379), but ahead of Rik Van Steenbergen (270) and Roger De Vlaeminck (255). He was also an accomplished track rider, riding up to six Six-Day races almost each winter throughout his career.

Francesco Moser broke the hour record of Eddy Merckx (from 1972) in Mexico City, on 19 January 1984, in Mexico City. He rode 50.808 kilometers, on an aerodynamic bike with full disc wheels more advanced than the conventional bike Merckx used in 1972. He went one better and broke it again on the 23rd, with 51.151 kilometres in one hour. Later in 1984, he won the Giro d’Italia, after beating Laurent Fignon on the last stage, time trial in Verona.

Team FAMCUCINE 1981 rode MOSER Super Prestige bikes.

Here we are offering another Italian racing masterpiece – MOSER Super Prestige which dates back to 1981. Superb frame is made by Ravazzolo brothers and they supplied Moser with racing frames. Team FAMCUCINE used identical bikes back then so we believe it’s one of the team bikes. Frame is made of Columbus SL tubing, Campagnolo Super Record groupset, 3ttt Moser stem and handlebar, NiSi wheels. Shining in original paint in great condition. No much words needed.
