With the discussion this past week about whether to touch-up or refinish, and the discussion about Freschi, this Freschi on ebay illustrates many of the points. It isn't so bad that it needs a complete paint job, but it will require a lot of touch-ups to prevent rust taking over. This bike just looks like a well worn warrior to me, one that I wouldn't touch-up. Also, given all the glowing comments about Freschi, it is surprising to me that nobody has even bid on this one. I suppose it being in Poland may have something to do with it, but the seller has a good record and accepts Paypal. There was a time when I would have jumped all over this at the minimum bid just to get the parts, but then, that would open up a whole new line of commentary. Lou Deeter, Orlando FL
