That's right; my Fuso is the yellow one. Rode it 30 mi. today & I can add that it is fast as hell on the flats. I was able to maintain 30 mph on 4 miles of Cabrillo Blvd. & I'm so out-of-shape right now it isn't funny. The weird thing is my Serotta felt almost the same but had a steeper head tube angle at 74 degrees. (Fuso is said to have 73 degrees). The steeper head angle made the Serotta a bit too nervous on the flats. But, but, but my Miyata 914 had a 73 degree head angle & 74 degree seat angle, as I suspect the Fuso has, & the Miyata rode like crap in comparison to the Fuso. There must be other issues like bb height at work here. Or Magic. The only issue I'd have is the paint is a little soft; don't lean your Fuso against anything! I've just scrubbed off a black mark on the top tube from a millisecond's contact with a railing. Still E-Fuso-ive about my Fuso; long live Dave Moulton! Jim Sunny but windy in Santa Barbara
