1981 Moseman Road Bike
The moment I landed my first, good paying job, I visited Rodney Moseman in Lititz, Pennsylvania to be measured for a handmade bicycle. I wanted a road racing bike, one that would be quick enough for easy climbing, but with enough of a wheelbase for good descents. It had to be in Columbus SL tubing, one of only two brands that anyone really wanted for their bicycle at that time. And, of course, it must have a Campagnolo Gruppo.
The bicycle was finished and I have enjoyed thousands of miles of fun rides, a race or two over the years and more than a few comments. Unwisely, I modified its original layout to accommodate the fads or advances of the time: clipless pedals, “aero” brake levers and a welded stem. Fortunately, none of these improvements are permanent.
L’Eroica requires that bicycles be built prior to 1987 or at least conform to the conventions of that time: exposed brake cables, shifters on the downtube or loom tube as they describe it and traditional, non-clipless pedals. The next few weeks will be spent, in those rare moments of spare time, returning the Moseman to its original state.
Pictured here is the Moseman as it is today.

I watched the slide show, and I wish I could ride it. The scenery looks inviting.
