Subject: [CR]Frejus info wanted

I am putting out a call for any and all information related to Frejus bicycles. I have taken a very keen interest in this marque and I'm finding very limited info available. I'd like to pin down as well as possible the various models, cosmetic changes, company history etc. As such, if you can please help with any of the following:

Any old Frejus catalogs. I would be grateful for any photocopies/scans, and I'd certainly interested in acquiring them also, if this avenue exists (yes, I have the one Velo-Retro Frejus reprint already).

Photos of CR member owned Frejus frames/bikes, with any info related to age, component makeup etc.

Any leads/contacts from Tom Avenia's old shop in N.Y. that might be a source of info, as I understand Avenia was the Frejus distributor in the U.S. for a number of years.

Since I have two late 1950's Frejus bikes under restoration, I would certainly be interested in any other misc. Frejus parts, etc.

Please be aware that I fully intend to eventually share any compiled information with the CR members/site, so all can benefit.

Thank you very much for your consideration, and please contact me off list.
