Listers- What do you make of this bike? It has Nouvo Grand Sport grouppo that has been pantographed and a Aelle frame that has had the chromed treatment. I know that Moser is a big name in Cycling and I am intrigued why he would produce supposedly low-end bikes with all that pantographing and chroming? Another Crazy Italian??? (many apologies Matteo, etc.) But I should make it clear that I am intrigued in a Good way (as opposed to nuetral). Actually this is not the first time I have seen a Moser like this. In fact, while this bike doesn't have it, I have even seen Moser pantographed Gran Sport brake-calipers. Should I assume that all the pantographing and chrome resulted in an increasingly more expensive bike or did they sell like any other non-panto'd, non-chromed G.S.-eqipped Aelle bike? Is there an upside or a down-side to this madness? Its a conumdrum to me. cheers- Dave Anderson Cut Bank MT
