I recently picked up a late sixties, early seventies Frejus that has the
Reynolds 531 decal located on the top of the toptube near the headtube. All
of the other decals on the bike are in very good condition, and there
doesn't appear to be a place where an original tubing decal was removed from
the more "normal" placement on the seattube. I have never seen the
placement of the tubing decal on the toptube and am wondering if such a
placement was common or particular to certain manufacturers. I have had
other Frejus's, and I cannot recall that those decals were placed on the
toptube. Thank you.
Cheers.

You describe what I have seen on Legnanos as well. While I think I may have
seen that arrangement on other Italian marques, I can't seem to recall any
other names right now.
