1) dave moulton labeled frames were all custom built, one at a time, frames. The serial number convention is: The first three digits represents the month and year it was built; the last digit is the number frame that month (for example 9832 was built in September, 1983, and was the second frame built that month). Dave added: "Back then I built about 6 or 8 frames a month. I went to work for Masi in California at the end of 1980 and worked for them until the summer of 1982 when I started building my own frames out of the Masi shop. In July 1983 I opened my own frame-shop in San Marcos, California. (San Diego County.)."
2) Dave began building FUSO frames in 1984. Fuso frames were numbered in sequence starting at Number 1, by the time he left the business in 1993 Fuso numbers were up in the 3000s. Dave added: "The Fuso, in an attempt to bring down the cost without sacrificing quality, was built five of one size at a time. So numbering in sequence was practical and made it easier to keep track of the number of frames built." Also, "A friend of mine once owned the number 1 Fuso and he sold it to a bike shop in San Luis Obispo, CA. I wonder where it is now? It would be interesting to know of any single digit Fusos (1-9) or even double digit (10-99) out there. "
3) regarding the logo, used on dave moulton labeled bikes, which I previously described as a tic-tac-toe design, Dave said: "The 'dave moulton' decals were the same design I had used in England this is why it said Worcester, England. The head tube logo is made up of four lower case 'm ' in the form of a cross. The center of it does look like a tick-tack-toe when it is engraved into a fork crown." Dave started his frame building experience in England in 1957, and came to the U.S. in 1979.
3) Russ Denny, who apprenticed with Dave, continued on and still builds FUSO frames (his new website is under construction).

photos from his frame building (and yes, lugwork) days); take a look at:
