Moser 51.1

Recently during the UCT fires (on our doorstep) we had a talk about what you would grab if you had to flee.  One of the young Ds said: Laptop (varsity projects). The other said: My blue bike!  I was so proud!

 

I'm pretty sure you are also going to say: My blue bike!

 

On the other hand, my wife said that if she was going to be left only with the clothes she is wearing, then she would go change into something better.........we decided that she would never escape because she would take far too long to decide what to wear! :whistling:  :D  ;)

Is there anyone who has a Pinarello Prince frame lying around that they may be wanting to part with ?

 

It might not be steel retro, but it is retro non the less.

Morph, not sure if it would be a medium or a large.

On some frames the medium works, and others the large works.

But I would say more likely a large, 55/56

My 2011 Roubaix is a large.

Pity, I have a 60cm available.

How does the sizing compare to "modern" frames ?

That line between really wanting something and making it fit, or being a bit patient for the "exact" right thing.

Chaps, I bought this old girl a week or two ago and the reach is just a touch long.

She's got a 110 mm stem at the moment, but a 90 mm is going to make her a perfect fit for me.

If you have something suitable in your garage, please let me know (preferably in or around Cape Town).
