I wonder if anyone here can explain why the early 1970's Legnano and Frejus bikes used the same (Frejus-style) seat cluster, with the Legnano bikes losing the characteristic seatpost pinch bolt positioned inside the main triangle (in front of the seat tube and below the top tube). Did Frejus acquire Legnano, or was it the other way around, or were they both bought by some other company?
