This 1958 Frejus Torino (posted on CR in October 2010) was recently restored (with a few upgrades) for the original owner, the father of Marcus Thiebaux in So-Cal. The splendid paint and transfer work appears to have been done by Cycle Art. In the 1950`s and early 1960`s Frejus bikes were imported to Los Angeles by Don, the then owner of San Gabriel Bike Shop. Marcus suspects that this bike did not come through Thomas Avenia, and he would like more information about the bike. [FrejusTorin1958]
