Howdy, all-

That new Fuji looks pretty sweet- all it needs is a Superbe Pro or NR build ....I'd ride it! Here is a link to pics of my Frejus project- http://www.fl ickr.com/photos/54878462@N00/?saved=1. If anyone out there can help me ou t with an accurate date of manufacture (seller said 1960), I'd appreciate i t, as that would help me in selecting parts for the build. No serial #- jus t 'MC 58' stamped on the bb, with a '3' just above those numbers. Interesti ng side note....notice the grease ports on the bb & head tube? Apparently t hese were used frequently over the years, as I removed more than a pound of old grease from the bb and headtube! Grease was packed for several inches up the downtube & chainstays.....also, which model is this? The seatpost di ameter is 26.2, which tells me it is probably Falck tubing, and the rear dr op out has the spring hole for the 'Sport' derailleur. Any help/comments ap preciated. Look for LOTS of stuff to be offered up for sale, both here and on e-Bay over the next few weeks; gotta raise some capital to open my shop!
