Yes but there is a size and dimension limit so you may need to resize.

Re:

Very nice indeed.

I have a Fuquay mountain bike which is a pretty rare beast, I would have thought his road bikes are equally, if not more rare.

What are your plans?

 

[Howie1984]

My plans for it are to bare metal it, respray original red, new decals, tyres,bar tape,saddle and I'm torn between turning it into a single speed or keeping it as it is! This bike is actually Greg Fuquays old bike that he built for himself! I acquired it via my father in-law who worked for Greg at the time Fuquay cycles was building bikes here in suffolk. My mother and father in-law are very close family friends of Greg and his family and visited them late last year in Alabama! I am also in regular contact with Greg who Is delighted that I'm bringing one of his old masterpieces back to life!

After speaking to Greg yesterday he says that this bike is "at least 18-20 years old" but is going to try and cast his memory back with some exact dates and some more history on it.
