Looks either like a nice high end Japanese frame (lugwork and headset) or European. The "F" stamped into the fork looks familiar but I just cannot place it. I am sure someone else will recognize it ASAP.

+1. 1986 Fuji Opus III. Definitely worth the effort. You don't think so, send it to me.

The frame looks sweet! I vote for resurrecting it.
