If I had to suggest just one bike to anyone (and this one fit) this Fuso FX1 would be it. Columbus SLX tubing, 7-speed Shimano 600 groupset (except for the Deore XT rear derailleur) with bar end shifters. The triple crankset and big fat rear cassette will get you up any hills. (The bottom bracket is stamped "60" but Moulton measured to the tope of the seatube. It really measures 58cm c-c).
Do read up on Fuso and Moulton. He only made 3000 of these so they are pretty special. (I have a 60cm which I love.) The bike is in VVG condition. Barely a scratch on her. Would be a joy to ride. |
Hey, if it was good enough for Jan Ulrich, it sure as hell is good enough for you.
This frame is made of "Scandium" which is a special aluminum-like alloy. carbon fork and seat stays. This bike rides "Big" (I normally ride a 60-62cm but this one fits me pretty well) |
58cm ctc Colnago Master(?) white 9S Campy Record and Chorus $1750CAD/$1250USD
A most elegant Colnago. Steel frame, but as light as carbon. The frame is the proprietary fluted Gilco Columbus tubing. currently equipped with a mix of Campagnolo Record and Chorus, 9S drivetrain.
This bike rides "Big" (I normally ride a 60-62cm but this one fits me pretty well) 59x58 (c-c) Litespeed Titanium by David Lynskey $1300 (frame $800)
Who doesn't love titanium. (I certainly don't don't.) This is a classic from the original David Lynksey era of Litespeed. Currently fitted with 8S Shimano 600.
Optional carbon fork available to replace the original aluminum fork. 61 x 58 (c-c) Masi Team 3Volumetrica $2000 (frame $1400)
One of the most beautiful bikes I've ever owned (priced so because I don't really want to sell it)

60 ST/58TT BH Team Liberty Seguros-Wurth with 10Spd Dura Ace $2000
Nice bike. Really nice bike. In fact it's my bike. Great wheels Mavic Ksyrium SL (this is where other sellers will scam you - with cheap, heavy wheels.) 8kg complete (including pedals), top of the line 10Speed Dura Ace components, built in Flight Deck computer (which even tells you what gear combination you are in - it's a bit spooky. though yea, you could just look down.)
I mean really what more do you want? I don't want to sell it, but... I've got plenty of bikes to keep me rolling. 60cm (c-c) Pottie in Reynolds 753 $1000 (frame $550)
This frame was made by French regional artisan framebuilder Claude Pottie (as is one other I have). Pottie was similar to Mike Barry of Mariposa and Mike Mulholland of Cyclops - the Go To guy for local riders needing an excellent frame. This just as the major brands were coming to dominate the market.
This beautiful frame, with its garish period-correct paint job is a rare Reynolds 753 build, Builders had to prove their skill to Reynolds by submitting a test frame for testing, before they were certified and allowed to buy 753 tubing. It was that delicate. Currently this is built up with 8S Campagnolo Record. |
