It's weird that brakes spec'ed for Fuji bikes ended up on Campania's bikes... but, then again, maybe not. Maybe the Campania distributors got a good deal on some Cherry brakes that Fuji decided not purchase. I've ran into these Cherry brakes once before, on a Sekine (mid-level bicycle). On the Sekine, I believe they had the Cherry name/logo bolts. The brakes seem as good as any other similar brake (of approx. year and design). The Campania has Fuji seat binder bolts too. So, again, inconclusive evidence that Fuji supplied Campania their frames...

hello again,

chanced upon this good sized image of an S10-S of 1973

thought you might wish to look for comparison to your machine...

Thanks Juvela! That's a nice one; looks pretty much factory original (minus the obvious consumables).

Bonjour Oncle Oncle,

came across some good images of a red '72 S10- S -

Thanks Juvela.... So, I compared the pictures of the Fuji S-10-S you provided, and as far as I can tell, the frames are almost exactly the same. On the bottom bracket, head tube, seat-to-tob tube lugs, there are many subtle curves and placements of the joins that are exactly the same. The braze fittings at the bottom bracket are the same and positioned in the same locations. The pump pegs are the same shape; the only difference is the peg by the head tube is placed further up along the bottom tube on the Campania. The rear wheel drop outs are similar, but the rack attach eyelets are further aft than the Fuji's (but the general shape, and the "gumdrop" weight lessening cutout of the dropouts are very similar. The ends of the seat stays and chain stays, where they are brazed to the rear wheel drop outs are end cut in the same manner. The fork crown lug is the same. All in all, I'm convinced, until someone provides compelling evidence, that the shop that made the Fuji S-10-S, made my Concourse Campania frame.

Happy to read you found the photos helpful.

Perhaps you should get together with @noobinsf to begin a Campania owner's club.

It is not a marque I had ever known anything about, even though its source is close to me, so have enjoyed following along on the discussion threads.

Edit -

here are four images of the red bicycle I did not get into the earlier post:
