I don’t think a lot of us see many Moser bikes. Judging from what looks to be a Campanutella 980 Gear rear derailleur, I’d say this likely from around’84ish to 86? Of course that assumes the parts are original.

I seem to remember reading that the ORIA TT 0.9 sticker means the tubing is 0.9 mm thick straight gauge, which might make it on the heavier side for a racing bike. Not that it'd ride poorly. Lack of eyelets point to more race than sport touring, unless those are eyelets in the dropout.

Kinda' like Columbus Aelle tubing then ?
I was thinking that when i saw the bike - nice mid range sports-racer
The chrome fork looks fine on there, but i wonder if it could be a replacement

The double bottle cages and the none indexed DT shifters would indicate 85/86 for likely build date. I really like the lug work some of the nicest thinning detailing I have seen.
