I haven't always been a huge fan of CyclArt paint, but this Frejus looks nice. What I particularly like is the "sig" that they put on the L chainstay at the BB. I asked Richard Schwinn to do this when they painted my '38 Paramount at Waterford, but it didn't happen. To me, it's not about taking credit (although that's warranted), but also taking some responsibility for the authenticity, and letting future buyers know that this is really a repaint. But, opinions may vary.
And I do smile with pleasure about the elegance of the forged cranks, and remember all the weaknesses of the matchbox or plunger Campy FD.

Please read the comments under each photo for condition and detail. I have the original purchase receipt, and Cal license plate! There is an extra Frejus crankset in great shape, extra NOS Ballila clips and a Fiamme decal. The freewheel in the photo is a Pro Compe, but I will load the original Caimi and Sedis chain when ships.
I would like $2200 for all. Shipping is $150 domestic US.
Please contact me with question or comment. If it doesnt sell on the list this week it will go on ebay. Thank you.
