I was referred to this forum for help. I am interested in the value of a 1962 or 63 Frejus Torino. I believe it has all original parts. Campagnolo, Universal, Italia Regis seat. I am going to sell this bike. So I need a price to start from. Let me know if you need more info. Thanks for the help.

I have a few torino frames - not the full, original bike like yours.
Very nice bike. Could be on the low end, $600-$800 is probably ballpark - depending on condition & market. I've seen a pristine 60's (show material) bike go for about $1200 a few years back. I thought it would have gone higher - it looked almost too nice to ride...
I can't tell from the photo's but does your frame have the oiler ports in the headtube and bottom bracket area? The oiler ports help some with the model identification & seat post size helps with frame material. The serial # should be on the seat tube - if you can read it - a reference (in case you have not seen it before) for serial #'s and approximate age is as follows:

Good luck - it look's like a great bike.

Active UK auction (frame only) - You can watch to see how it turns out (paint job isn't so great - likely will not go for as much...)
