Moser Leader AX Frameset- Frame & Fork- 56 cm

Hello, up for grabs is this Moser Leader AX- one of the all time great steel race frames. It uses oversized Dedacciai Zero steel tubing beautifully fillet brazed (not lugged), Freuler style extended seat tube for clean looks and less post exposure, and sleek internally routed rear brake. The Leader AX was Moser's answer to the vaunted Merckx MX Leader. Many riders think it rides even better.

This frame has one important modification. Normally, the Leader AX does not have a bolt for affixing the seatpost and instead uses a proprietary expanding quill seatpost. These seatposts are hard to find and expensive and often the linchpin of owning the Leader AX. This particular frame has been professionally keyholed and slotted and a DKG CNC'd collar installed. This opens up a world of seatposts! You can use literally any 27.0 mm post in this frame. This gives lots of options for design, setback, and budget.

Geometry:

Seat tube: 56 cm center-center, 62 cm center-to-top of extended seat tube
Top tube: 56 cm center-center
Head tube: 14.9 cm end-to-end

Component fit specs: Italian BB, 1" threaded headset, 27.0 mm seatpost, 130 mm rear hub, braze-on front derailleur

Condition is fair. This frame was a rider, not a showpiece, and various nicks, chrome pitting, and surface rust show this. NO dents or cracks or anything like that.There is pitting to the chrome on the chainstays and fork and rust at the inner chainstay and under the fork crown. One could take the time to shine up the chrome or even repaint, but this frame is ready to ride as is and will give many years of great service.

Shipping is free in the continental US. Shipping will be prompt and well packed with dropout spacers in a reinforced frame box.

Thanks for looking!
