FUSO
NOTE: Because fade paint looks better with a darker color faded over a light, and for other technical reasons, we recommend that the bottom color be darker than the top on a 2 color paint scheme. On a 3 color the bottom should be darkest, the top front be the next shade lighter, and the seat area and fork be the lightest color.

Fuso LUX (Not shown here)
The specifications, geometry materials etc: are basically the same as the FUSO above. However many extra hours of labor are spent on filing, attention to detail and highest quality custom paint. Color choice and color schemes available is virtually unlimited, only at the discretion of Dave Moulton.
Small subtle differences distinguish the FUSO LUX, they are:
A Cinelli double taper brake bridge, with long diamond reinforcements
A Cinelli aerodynamic fork crown (without engraving) Integral fitting
Standard on this frame and included in the price is:
Brake cable tunnel thru top tube
Front derailleur braze-on (chrome plated)
Special chain-hanger (chrome plated)
Chrome plating also on the right chain-stay and drop out faces.
Special sizes or tubing specs or anything non-standard not listed here may be available at the discretion of Dave Moulton depending on the time of season, workload, etc.. But it must be clearly understood by the customer, that if such special orders are undertaken more time is needed to complete the order, and there will be extra cost.
We reserve the right to change component parts with an equivalent or better quality parts as available.
