Fuso has always been a bike on my wish list. This one was languishing with no bids which seemed almost criminal so here it now resides. Great pack (thanks so much!) and on re-assembly yesterday it dawned on me that this bike had been ridden very little, if at all, based on wear. At this point I felt the affliction that likely affected the two previous owners, the dreaded "collectible" bicycle paranoia begin to ascend = this is too nice to ride. Fortunately I immediately laughed that off and 1.5 hours later, man oh man what a lively ride. Probably the glorious spring day here, probably the occasional wind at my back but it sure felt like the bike was finally getting to fufill its purpose. Like some patient thoroughbred, it now seemed to effortlessly eat up the rolling miles. These bikes were built to ride and I am very grateful to have found this one. specs below
