Restomod bike build - vintage Moser frame meets Di2!
Restomod bikes - you take a vintage steel bike frame and fit it out with the latest bike parts - no rules apply so let your imagination run wild!
In this video we take an early `80`s steel lugged Moser frame and set it up with stiffer carbon fork, ahead set and bars - all painted and decaled to match the frame which is the given a generous coat of silver pearl (remember - the wilder the better).
Then time to fit the components - no messing around with a real deal restomod bike, full Shimano d12 10 speed with a compact 50/34 crank and 11/27 at the back - a real climbing settup and all finished off with an epic set of HED 60/40 carbon wheels.
***NOTE - only use ahead stems on threadless forks - threaded forks nead a quill stem or specific quill stem adaptor***
The results speak for themselves - looks smokin` hot, can`t wait to ride it...

Riding a Kent sportive - on a vintage bike...

    Very cool build! Ive got a 1990 MASI I bought new as a frameset in 1990, and have ridden it a lot, eventually sticking with 9 speed Ultegra with a triple. Ive got a near new Canyon Endurace Ive lightened up some, full carbon nice bike. But the MASI is no appliance, the Canyon is. Any downhill especially the MASI is the bike to ride. Even though the MASI is heavier, I dont climb any slower on it at all. Ive fancied a carbon fork on the thing. Its silent going down the road on the older bike,9 speed works really nice with the latest shimano 9 speed brifters I could get new in 2022. Shifts better than the Ultegra ever did. Steel really is a nice ride, especially the quad butted Reynolds tubing the MASI is made of.

    There are all kinds of Shimano parts on eBay and in America, Amazon as well. I bought Dura-Ace 11spd chains from Amazon, all four of them were fake. I also bought two pair of Shimano Ultegra carbon pedals from eBay, the pedals and the yellow cleats are fake as well. I’m no longer buying bike parts from either place. Luckily I found out these parts were fake and did not crash a bike and end up in a hospital, or dead! Love the resto-mod build, keep up the videos.

    Nice restomod! I recently bought a 58cm Mercian 653 Pro lugless, with the intention of buying an unloved modernish superbike, swapping the bits to the Mercian frame, then sell the superbike frame. Then I found out the Mercian actually had 126mm spacing, and I didn't want to try stretching it. So the Mercian is going back to it's original 7 speed Athena, and I've ended up spending a relative fortune on the aging superbike, a carbon TCR with campagnolo record 10 speed, to bring it back to life. Space in the garage is shrinking to nothing.

    It was a matter of principle back in the day to try not to use the "racing ring" in the winter months and see if you could get to spring with it still shiny. A kind of self imposed zone 2 training if you will. I now ride a 1x to commute on and I don't miss the front shifter one bit!

    To this day I still prefer low-profile rims in sidewinds (obvs. w. more spokes than the fragile things in this vid). Just feels safer, especially now I'm no longer fast enough to care about aerodynamics and PBs anyway.

      Oddly enough these older round profile tube frames and skinny rims feel at home in crosswinds - unlike my more modern "aero" stuff with gets blown around all over the place! Dan

    Vintage bikes are watching all these fads with curiosity, I own an olmo giro in yellow with shimano 7 speed down tube shifters, a guy passed me the other day on an aero bike so I put in an effort and drafted him for about five miles, he didn’t expect me to still be there on my old bike 😂, while looking over his bike from behind I could see it was a 1 by set up🤮 cross chaining nightmare 🤨 while my chain line was straight, came to a nasty little kick up and he was out of the saddle while I remained seated, didn’t seem that set up was doing him and good whatsoever, I’ll add he was about 10 years younger than me and very fit but couldn’t drop me , I’m 56, I suppose these fads will come and go🤷 they got a lot of things right back in the day bike wise.

      Man, thats like choosing your favorite child... can`t say I have a top three but the fastest and best overall for doing everything real fast would be Dogma F8 and upwards - almost as fast but with bigger smiles would be the Pantani Megapro - after that each bike has its own merits - must do a "Top Trumps" card game at some point...

    I do most of my races and rides on old bikes these days. Makes little difference on hilly events and the steel bikes are generally more forgiving on crappy roads. Next road event will see the 1950s Hercules 3 speed with 13t sprocket for the mostly down hill 5 mile tt ... The Argos I do road bike tt on is very quick , enough to get the occasional win or top 5 . ( age category rather than overall. ) . Sportive, probably the Holdsworth, mile eater bike.
