Sorry for cross posting but I thought some of you old-timers might appreciate the frame. I wasn't sure if I should post this in the fixed/SS or retro-classic thread but I'll go ahead and do both.

So, I picked up this frame for my wife last year (too bad it wasn't in my size) and decided to build it up as a surprise gift for her. It's almost done...just need to decide on some handlebar tape. So, since my budget is tight I went with whatever on some parts which really doesn't matter because it rides so freakin well. I rode it around the neighborhood last night for a little test ride and now I'm tempted to keep the bike for myself even though its rediculously small for me. Anyways, you guys probably just want to see the pics. (Sorry for the cellphone pics but the bike is at my parents crib and I didn't have my camera with me) Enjoy.

Very cool! I'm a big fan of Dave Moulton and his blog, too (http://davesbikeblog.blogspot.com/). Great frames! I own an early production Fuso circa '86. I bought the frame about a year ago in an Ebay auction and have it built up with Super Record components and Fiamme tubular rims. One very sweet ride.
