Anyone got any idea of what this bike is? It's been posted on a Facebook group, and it's causing a bit of head scratching!

Obviously it's a Fuji frame, then branded by whoever wanted it. Could be any number of shops, or brands (E.g. Sunn was a big user, Merlin UK another)
In the rest of Europe, who knows and further afield....

I'm sure a search for Fuji Stout lite / stout-lite / stoutlite will bring up some brands to start on.
Serial may get the year, late 90s?
 
Mid 90's then on a new look at it.

Best guess is 1995 made, frame number 1 [many assumptions made for that]
Which would match up with the Ritchey compact dropout ( I know 1996 they made them and 1994 they didn't) and now looking at the photos on a bigger screen, part and style would be that sort of era (thinking mid 90's Marin look when I see styles like this.)

Sample, special, whatever interesting frame :-)
 
Not a lynskey, I've had a hold of a handful of those over the years and is a far less aggressive spiralling than that!
