Subject: [CR]Frejus bikes from the 50's

There are two pretty nice Frejus bikes on ebay. Can anyone identify them ? Both claim to be from the 50's yet one looks much longer and seems to have

more fork rake and thinner fork blades. First question does the repainte d bike really look like its from the 50's? Second, is the 51' called a "Strada", being as it looks so long? And last, does anyone know if Freju s bikes- famous for being quite lighter than many of their contemporary's, were so light in the 50's- or was that starting with their 60's bikes? This from the archives from Michael Butler:

"One of my old cycling mates had just given me a photocopy of an original Jaggard Mills catalogue. These were the British

distributors for Frejus. 1950 wheelbase lengths: Supercorsa 41": Corsa 40.5": Strada 42.25"
