It all depends on the when they were built and how you ride them. Older (1950's - 1970's) bikes were designed to ride on much rougher roads, and today make astoundingly comfortable general purpose bikes - and this was Frejus's best era. I would take a 70's or earlier Frejus over an 80's or later Bianchi any day for a general, day-to -day rider.
