Re-launch of FUSO Bicycles to debut at NAHBS

Re-launch of FUSO Bicycles to debut at NAHBS in Sacramento, March 2-4th.

FUSO Bicycles will debut it’s re-launch at the North American Handmade Bike Show in Sacramento this March 2-4th. After a hiatus for the last 15 years, Russ Denny will be introducing three new models, as well as offering the original FUSO and its’ original geometry which includes the fork. There will also be a compact lugged frame with modern compact geometry and sloping top tube, an oversized TIG welded frame and a compact double down tube version of the same geometries. Original creator Dave Moutlon will also be at the NAHBS show, along with David Ball, who was the actual first owner of the first FUSO built under that name.

When Master frame builder Dave Moulton first introduced the FUSO in 1984, it quickly became a favorite with racing cyclists and road bike enthusiasts alike. The FUSO was the bike to own during the 1980s.

The reason for its popularity was simple. It was reasonably priced for a superior hand built frame, and its riding qualities and handling characteristics were second to none.

Russ Denny, Dave Moulton’s former apprentice is now re-introducing the FUSO, and bringing it back with modern styling for today’s discerning rider. At the same time all the basic design qualities that made the original FUSO such a great bicycle frame in the first place, have been retained.

Many of the earlier FUSOs are still owned by their original owners who bought them in the 1980s, while others are sought after by collectors. The New FUSO also will certainly be destined to follow its predecessor, and claim its place in bicycle history.

“Once you own and ride a FUSO, you too will never want to part with it.”Dave Moulton

Native American, Russ Denny, began building frames in Southern California in 1986 as an apprentice to master frame builder Dave Moulton at Fuso. “When I started, Dave had me work on one thing at a time until I mastered it, and only then would I learn something new. It was more than four years before I was allowed to build a complete frame. I apprenticed under Dave for eight years, building custom steel frames including Road, Track, Cyclocross, Touring, and ATB.

“When I reached my 10-year mark of building frames I wanted to design a line of aluminum frames with my name on it. In 1995, I started my own line of custom built frames.”

Over the years Russ has also built for numerous companies such as: Ritte, Abici, Action Tech, Avent, Beyond Fabrications, Burro Bikes, Dagger Mountian Bikes, Elite Bicycles, Forzza, Griffen, Haro, Javilen, John Howard, Lab X, Masi, Pharo Bikes, Predator, Quintano Roo, Recherche, Simonitti, Titan Flex, Tsunami, Voodoo Cycles, Willwam Lewis Imports.
