Resurrecting this old thread as this is the first example I’ve been able to find of a Follis that with a frame and fork that resembles the one I just acquired. The key details being the plane lugs, top tube cable stops and bottom tube pump pegs that don’t fit into the old catalog images that always seem to come up in Follis threads. I have my suspicions about the Vitus decals as they appear to be in better condition than the paint (although the clearly stock bottom tube decal does as well), the frame tubing sticker is a little crooked and appears to occupy real estate that should have been covered by the wavy foil decal. The seat post is some where between 26 and 27 mm (not marked haven’t busted out the digital caliper yet). It feels pretty light for its Low- Mid range component spec and, however unscientific, the main tubes produce a light hollow pinging noise when flicked with a fingernail.

Bikemig whatever became of your Follis? Now six years on can anyone offer any additional information?
