A little while back, I reported that I had purchased a lovely 1993 Fuso on eBay. After some go around about its provenance, Dave Moulton himself checked in to confirm my theory that what I bought is indeed a Russ Denny-built Fuso. Getting that info has made the frame even more special to me.

It came to me in early-90's Campy C-Record finery, including the Delta brakes. Great stuff, but a double with a 39x21 low gear is pretty useless to me these days. So I embarked upon a campaign to update to Campy 10-speed triple. And now, it's done - mostly Centaur, Veloce rear derailleur, Chorus hibs, Mavic CXP33 rims (got the wheels as shown for good price on eBay), Nitto bar, stem and seat post, San Marco Rolls Titanio saddle, and the Conti 4000 tires it came with.

It is a stiff ride, less straight-line steady and more responsive than my other bikes, but does not cross that hard-to-define line into unwanted "twitchiness." This is a crit bike but a well-mannered one. It is a blast, although I don't think I'll be taking it on any centuries.





About the narrowist fork crown you will ever see. From the saddle, it looks like it is barely wider than the headset.
