I received a message from Greg Honn:

" Freschi never built any frames. He owned a bookstore down the street from Vittoria Gianni clothing works. His builder was Renato Negri who built Moser's hour record bike."

"If you ever saw Renato Negri work you would be amazed. I never sawanyone who could braze like that guy. His sonn, Massimo, was a racer soNegri built his frames. Renato made tons of intricate brass fixturesfor public and private buildings in Milan. A genius with a torch." >>
