Thank you.

I have this bike, a 1925 Frejus, 1933 Frejus and I am slowly restoring a 1942 Frejus. Someday I plan to accurate measure the geometries to compare racing bikes from the same manufacturer over 3 decades. I did recently get a new fish scale. The 15 is 12.68kg, the 25 is 12.43kg and the 33 is 11.22kg. I expect the 42 to be well under 10kg when complete.
