Jim, She is not rare; you'll need allot of numbers if your gonna start counting. Tour model was second in line to the Professional model ( which is not really "rare" either). Figure she dates just post 1950 from the seat sticker. The headtube badges had the years listed winning the worlds; at least on the pro models. Non campy rear dropouts are the giveaway to hierarchy. Cool, sell or build and enjoy. Funny, I've only scene the Tour models in this bronze/maroon "Team" color combo, but NEVER a pro model. The list meister has a Frejus city bike in this color combo that I sold him. Look for her on the site. Now if ya find a pro in team colors, well that's a story!
