The Story
The Francesco Moser 51.151 is an undisputed icon of competitive cycling history, created to celebrate Francesco Moser’s historic Hour Record of 51.151 kilometers achieved in Mexico City on January 23, 1984. This particular frame proudly commemorates his triumphant victory at the 67th Giro d'Italia later that same year, documented by the original seat tube decal.
Constructed from premium Columbus steel tubing, the frame is finished in a mesmerizing and sought-after translucent cromovelato lacquer over a fully polished chrome base. The bike features signature pantographs, including the "51.151" arrow cast into the fork crown, engraved seat stay caps, and a deeply branded Moser bottom bracket shell.
Outfitted with an authentic Campagnolo Super Record groupset, the cockpit features a Cinelli handlebar paired with a black 3TTT stem sporting crisp "F. Moser" pantography and Italian tricolore details. Rolling on vintage Campagnolo Record high-flange hubs laced to hard-anodized Mavic Open 4 CD rims and Pirelli P Zero Race tires, the build is crowned by a white Selle San Marco Rolls saddle, fresh white bar tape, white cable housing, and natural gum hoods. A museum-grade showcase of Italian frame building at the pinnacle of Moser’s racing career.
