[CR] Moreno Argentin's Sammontana Team De Rosa

http://tinyurl.com/o5pp9k Here's a contempory image of Moreno on one of several road bikes made for him by De Rosa while he was on Team Sammontana. Since he's sporting the Championship of Italy jersey, one can safely assume that this was taken in the period during or after 1983. He sometimes used black anodized stems and aslo chromed stems. His seatpost was pantographed "Argentin". He most always favored a white turbo saddle. He was among the last riders to abandon toe clips and used Binda straps-he always used pista pedals on the road. Notice that there is no chrome anywhere on the rear triangle-just the fork. Moreno's frame size is well known : 54cm C-C (See Negri "Quando la Bici e Arte" for a frame build diagram) I challenge anyone to provide a contemporary image of Moreno on a Team Sammontana track bike.
