Dug Van Cleve is correct - that is not a Fuso Luxe. I own one, built in 1992, one of the last Fuso Luxes made.

The Fuso Luxe has chrome on the right chainstay, dropouts, and the braze-on for the front derailleur. The fork crown is very slim without pantographing. It is actually quite elegant. Mine is a 57 cm (c-t) frame with a 56 cm top tube, 73 degree head tube, and 72 degree seat tube. It shows the wear of many centuries and doubles. Still, I receive complements about the bike frequently. Sorry, I don't have a photo.

All Fusos ride about the same. The Luxe had more cosmetic details being the signature frame, but all models were built with excellence in mind. Dave Moulton knew his craft.
