He does - especially the Rossin for me

I bought this one I don't think it had made the cut for the collection and it needs a little bit of restoration, but it is a nice fillet brazed frame - and I had been looking for a Moser mountain bike for few years!!

That’s gorgeous
It as you said only a tiny bit of TLC
Not surprised it didn’t make the cut as studying his frames they’re like mint exhibition pieces found in boardrooms of OEM makers

Yes, this one will be a rider and ultimately, the plan is to restore/repair the white paint and give it a polish before building it up. He has a green Moser in the collection - similar model, which is helpful as a component guide.

I had no idea he has other frames for sale
I’d like to see

My favorites - too many to mention though the other Moser and your one does it for me

His 1990 Bianchi is a peach as well.
And what collection of Colnago Master series
No Scapin’s though and no other Bianchi.
I acquired a Bianchi recently in a rare California blue - trying to figure out which wheel set.
Saw another with FiR Cantis !! Put an ad up in wanted

Yes he also has an Alan - which looks so so nice - I just can’t work out whether this would suit someone of 5’7”

Ha, I am also 5' 7" and this is a 49cm frame. So 19" in old money.. 18" is my sweet spot, but I have several 19"s which I ride just fine - sometimes with a shorter stem.

The only thing is you would probably only have a small amount of seat tube showing. So if you like smaller frames and a high seat position, it would be a little big, but defo ridable for me

I’ve got short legs
Usually 17” is a sweet spot though I have gone smaller
This Alan would be too big to ride - I’d always worry about having to stop abruptly or falling and not being able to spring off - though I doubt I’d ride the Alan - it would be a pleasure just to spend ages sourcing parts building it and getting it to gleam like the door of a whorehouse

Fair enough, it is lovely though and would polish up very nicely!! Those stays are amazing. I've seen plenty of Alan road bikes, but don't remember seeing a MTB...
