Just a heads up: the stem looks a bit high, make sure it’s in far enough (there should be a line that indicates the maximum height).

Agree on stem height concern. If you can’t make out a mark, 65 mm is pretty standard minimum insertion for stems of that type. Measure from the bottom of the aluminum body of the stem, not from the bottom of the steel wedge. Some stems have a conical piece that goes into the bottom of the stem, in that case you can measure from the very bottom.

F. Moser is a highly regarded brand famous for making extraordinary bicycles…. This is not one of them.
St. Etienne was the center of the French bicycle industry, lots of brands came out of their factories during the 70s bike boom. My old-school mechanic used to say the quality varied depending on if it was built before or after lunch, owing to the amount of wine they drank back then.
I love mixtes; this Moser would be pretty rare in the States (I’ve never seen one). I’ve had a few St. Etienne frames over the years. Perfectly fine, but the best mixtes I’ve seen are Japanese, with the occasional 531 Raleigh. The only thing I’d change on this is ditching the steel wheels for aluminum. You’ll save 2lbs and get much better braking performance.

Yup, seems to be a bike.
