'88 Fuso frameset, 56 seatpost, 55 top tube, stunning!
Gorgeous Fuso frame for sale.
Marked a 57 = 56cm CTC seat tube, 55cm CTC top tube, #1685 , built in 1988. An FRX, so upgraded finish and braze on FD mount. SLX tubing, Columbus dropouts. Campagnolo seat post binder bolt, comes with cage bolts and dropout screws and a nice Campagnolo headset.
Stunning condition, just two small touchups on the chainstay. No disappointments here!
$500 plus shipping.
Side note: also have an excellent Gerardi Regal saddle in yellow leather that would look great on this...especially with white bar tape. Yum!

Clearly, an opportunity to go deeper in debt.
And worth it.
And worth it.

Found a pair of Look pedals in RED that I'll toss in with the frame deal.
Also remembered that I have a pair of Mavic Helium wheels, 8-9-10 speed freehub, in RED with original Mavic skewers, that would look pretty sporty with the yellow saddle...

Wow, another really nice frame. I'm glad you ride bikes a fair bit smaller than I do.

I am soooo glad this one is too small. I'd be in big trouble right now.

If you don't mind...what is the measurement of the head tube? With and without headset. Thank you!

Newbie
Thank you rccardr. I'll be sure to post some pics of the build on this frame. I saw a post about FUSOs, so that seems a reasonable location for it. I am almost at my 10-post requirement to upload images, so hopefully soon. I'll add #1685 and a couple others.
Regards,
HT
