60ies steel track bike made by Rudolf Fauss (hence RuFa). Since I don't come around to rebuilding it era correct, I decided to bin that idea and make it a daily rider, stay tuned for some interesting updates..
Frame:
RuFa 60s track, 55cm, Nervex Prof. lugs, 531, nice lug lining,
Crankset/Bottom Bracket:
HT II

Current Stage Info:
My knees can't stand the FG thing no more, so the bike has to adjust...here we go. Widened to 135mm, made some disc tabs, a new bridge and stiffening tube (not pictured)
stay tuned..this is kind of a pre-trial of what to do with the beloved yellow track bike.

I'm curious ... is the serial number on this early RU-Fa a 3 digit number?
example - 123 ( no letters )
Thank you

How did you widen it to 135? I'm a little afraid to push my luck on mine.

First removed the 'brake' bridge to give it some sideways flexibility, then basically jammed in a threaded rod with some nuts and pushed it out. Rear end was so stiff I left it at like 180 for several days and when I pulled out the rod it remained unchanged at 120, haha Next time around, some heat on the stays did the job.
